'Something Really Special': 12,000 NHL Fans Take Over for Anthem Singer to Deliver Stunning Rendition
Hockey fans gave a stirring rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Wednesday, taking over for the national anthem singer before a playoff game between the New York Islanders and the Boston Bruins. Singer-songwriter Nicole Raviv regularly performs the national anthem before Islanders games at Nassau Coliseum, according to the NHL.
Her microphone was having technical issues before Saturday’s Game 4 in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
The 12,000 fans in attendance quickly jumped in and helped her sing as the microphone cut in and out. #isles fans are heroes. This is more anthem footage from the most memorable performance. Gona miss this barn… pic.twitter.com/XoN1mUvO1D — Nicole Raviv (@thenicoleraviv) June 7, 2021
The microphone was working properly before Game 6 on Wednesday night, but the Islanders faithful still joined in.
Raviv pointed the microphone at the crowd as they all sang together. “I didn’t think @thenicoleraviv could sing the anthem any better than she normally does at #isles games,” sportscaster Shannon Hogan tweeted.
“But that right there was something really special.”
Raviv replied, “I’m not crying you’re crying.”

I’m sure this was widely reported on the network news as well as MSDNC and CNNlol.....right?
This news item didn’t show in title search.
Nothing better than 12,000 voices joined in unity. Makes your heart swell with pride.
Awesome.
I heard this on the radio.
Wonderful to hear PEOPLE stand up and sing loudly, but there is more to this.
The very fact the singer STOPPED her part until the very end.
But that was before wokeness taught us to destroy everything in life that adds value to our lives.
They will soon either change to words or ban it entirely as is racist - dead white people and all that.
It was beautiful!
Makes me feel a little better knowing my Penguins got beat by the team that also advanced to the semi-finals.
I promised not to use the Hockey Ping List this season so I won’t but this would be as good a reason as any.
The National Anthem is meant to be sung corporately. Narcissistic solo renderings are unbecoming of the same.
They played it on the Radio this morning, brought a year to my one good eye!!!
Heart warming!
Whom are we rooting for:
NY v. TB ... NY would be interesting
LV v. MON ... definitely Canadiens
See 16
NBA, Whom are we rooting for?
76 v. ATL: 76 would be different
Brklyn v. Mil: interesting
Clip v. UT: Clip success hurts the Lakers.
Phoenix v. Den: Col does voter fraud. Move the be allstar game
Yes, NYI beating the TB Lightning would be quite interesting. Love the passion of the Islanders' fans, too. ;-)
Fox News showed it several times. I’m sure the video “somehow” never made it to MSDNC and/or the Commie News Network.
Islanders also reduce fan interest and time for Yankees. Anything to lower viewership on YES
