For everyone who doesn't realize, the man at 0:55 singing his heart out is long time Oilers lockerroom attendee, Joey Moss. May you rest in peace Mr. Moss. You will be sadly missed.
I'm a rangers fan from Sweden...but this is just so good and strong so I have to watch it...love how the Oilers fans give so much for their team but that's exactly what pumps the team up to give their best. (bad grammar maybe, I'm not that good at grammar in english)
Anyone else remember the fans in San Jose booing the Canadian anthem, and the Edmonton fan’s response when the series came to Edmonton was to sing the American anthem? That’s class
I was there! The radio stations all rallied and told everyone to sing the USA anthem as loud as ours. It was the most beautiful moment I had ever seen in sports. My father and I still talk about it.
I remember the reverse happened for one playoff series between Montreal and Boston. Habs fans booed the American National Anthem at Bell Centre, so Bruins fans shot back with raucous cheers for the Canadian National Anthem the next game.
im from ny and i love how edmonton oilers do everything big when it comes to hockey there crowd singing o canada and there outdoor game what a classy city!now all the cities in canada copy them by singing oh canada and after the oilers did there outdoor game everyone followed after!i wish the oilers nothing but the the best in the 2016-2017 season in there new building cause when they do get into playoffs that city is gonna go crazy awsome fans too
@Harold Hourie lol dude this is the atmosphere you get in a friendly neighborhood match in Russia . The only reason they dream to play in NHL is $$$ nothing else .
A magnificent video and a wonderful presentation of the Canadian national anthem. I am an American who admires Canada and who appreciates the greatness and the goodness of our northern neighbor. Canada is a steadfast friend of the USA, and it plays a positive and responsible role in international affairs. It is one of the most free and liberal societies in the world, and it should be commended for that.
R.I.P Paul Lorieau :( you were a beaut and nobody sang the anthem better than you. I remember he was the first one to just hold up the microphone and let the crowd sing the national anthem during the oilers 2006 cup run. Lots of guys copied him after that but he was the first to do it.
Amazing... that is rivalling or perhaps outdoing some of the most enthusiastic crowd singing from the English Premier League. Absolutely amazing from the Oilers fans
When I am down and feeling sad.... i put this on and watch.. and then i am inspired ! i love this country it is truly great and the best in all the world !!
I'm from England and I remember watching this after school having recorded the game the previous night and I'm still yet to see a more passionate group than Canadians you guys are so amazing ice hockey is amazing love it. Totally brilliant truly my own country could learn a thing or two honestly mean that amazing atmosphere I could feel it watching at home.
I live in the UK, what kind of school tapes a hockey game for the kids to watch lol. Our sport is treated like shit here despite all the gains we've made with GB in the World Champs.
I'm a American and i respect the National Anthem if i went to a Hockey game in Canada i would stand up and show respect to just like i do in America. I as a American seeing some bash the Canadian National Anthem makes me sick. I wanted you Canadians to know i respect you National Anthem and country and love going there
I have watched this video a handful of times. As an American, I absolutely adore the Canadian national anthem. It is incredible. You guys sing it with pride up there. Well done guys.
Oilers fans so passionate even if there team is doing bad the arena is always sold out. I went this last March to an oiler game they were way out of the playoffs but the arena was packed. Unlike Boston or New Jersey I saw like no one there seats half empty
Being from L.A. I caught the hockey bug in 1983 and Northlands was the center of the hockey universe. That building was full and buzzing with excitement every game I watched, and that was plenty of them after I had a huge satellite dish installed. I'd get chills when Paul Lorieau sang, and nearly wet myself when Glen Sather would send Dave Semenko out because you knew a King was about to receive retribution and get pummeled by #27. Up until the day the changed the NHL forever, L.A. was hockey Siberia, and once Wayne was traded we had a full house and Don Cherry in the press box. The fan club I was a part of always hosted all Smythe Division fan clubs for a social mixer every season, and we usually did a Calg/Edm trip too. I have complete love and respect for Canada and it's people. Despite our trash talking President we will always have your backs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! JULY 1, 2021. As a native northern Minnesotan, I am honoured every time someone asks me if I am from Ontario!! Something about my speech patterns, I guess!
i'm not Canadian or American but I've gotta say that 'O Canada' is perhaps one of the most beautiful & inspiring national anthems in the world. If i was Canadian i'd love my country that much too!
holy smoke as im from sweden this nationalsong from canada is awesome ,, holyshit .. absolut AWESOME.. Ihave tears in my eyes when i here that.. go canada...
I'm from the US, and I love it! This video never fails to give me goosebumps. And I think the goalie's look of "we're screwed" at 1:12 pretty much sums it up!
That's so cool seeing someone mention 0:56 for Joey Moss!! I was in the building for this - working, as I had been for 13-14 years then - and still get goosebumps seeing this! That was the LOUDEST coolest thing and Paul Laurier and I still marvel over it when we see each other! (he retired from it now) What a moment!! And Joey always sings the anthem loud!! He's another national treasure!
Paul god rest your soul! You would have been proud of what happened last night in Edmonton, when the mic failed we blasted out the American anthem, and Robert Clark kept your spirit Alive with O Canada. You taught us well.
Why i love my country..the only country where the professional singer can never go even 10 seconds through the anthem before all of us Canadians drown them out with the love we have united...(sometimes I really wish the whole world could be like us...we fight one day and hug the next..spread the canadian vibe...plss)
Edmonton with the best fans in the NHL, the loudest fans, and a culture that always starts traditions. It will be Edmonton, Canada's team, that will bring home the 'Cup to Canada.
I googled my way to this clip thanks to an article in today's Toronto Star about various versions of our national anthem. This was quite spectacular! I got shivers!
i am an american, but this is honestly one of the coolest videos on youtube. Canadiens are truely proud of their country and their pastime. gives me chills every time
Yeah, that pan across to Ryan Smyth with Joey Moss in the background was so goddamned well timed and perfect you'd think it was set up. People weren't only cheering for Ryan, they were cheering for Joey just as much. Just awesome.
@Sportsmaven DAMN RIGHT Hockey has the best fans on earth. Passionate for our game, passionate for our teams, and PASSIONATE FOR OUR COUNTRIES! This brings a tear to my eye how beautiful this game is and the fans who care so much for our game around the world. Here's To Ya Canada, Much love from the U.S.A
I'm American and I absolutely love the American national anthem. However, I also think the Canadian anthem is beautiful too! It was awesome to hear the entire arena belt out your anthem. I smiled wide through the whole video. That was just AWESOME!!!!
For everyone who doesn't realize, the man at 0:55 singing his heart out is long time Oilers lockerroom attendee, Joey Moss. May you rest in peace Mr. Moss. You will be sadly missed.
That image of Smyth with Moss singing in the background should be minted onto a coin.
He was such a beloved person in the Edmonton that there is a school and preseason trophy named after him. On in Canada, I love it!
ok
@@ragnaraxelson59and the Flyers lost in 2019 lol
Such a good man. RIP
RIP Joey Moss. You can see him belting it out behind Smytty.
I loled when the Flyers lost in 2010 to the Blackhawks
chills. always chills. no matter how many times i watch it. (and i'm American) happy Canada day!
Thanks cousins! God bless America and Canada always!
I'm a rangers fan from Sweden...but this is just so good and strong so I have to watch it...love how the Oilers fans give so much for their team but that's exactly what pumps the team up to give their best. (bad grammar maybe, I'm not that good at grammar in english)
Paul Lorieau was the best ever. The anthems were so much better with music. I miss those days.
Thank you sir !
me too, this is also really good imo ua-cam.com/video/w60wC23ohOg/v-deo.html

2 real Canadian gems in this video. Paul Lorieau and Joey Moss RIP to both!
Makes me proud to be a Canadian...listen to those people singing. This happens always, always they sing their National Anthem.

+Joe G hey man, from an edmontonian, thanks for the kind comments and i hope as well for a great season in the new arena...take care bud!
how much acid did you just do?

TayR0C wtf
RIP JOEY MOSS (the passionate singer at 0:55) An Oilers legend
1:11 haha Ilya Bryzgalov, love it! He's like "In Mother Russia....national anthem sing you."
🤣😂😅
@Harold Hourie lol dude this is the atmosphere you get in a friendly neighborhood match in Russia . The only reason they dream to play in NHL is $$$ nothing else .
@@BlackSwanGamingTGK he was a cool guy
Wait, I thought that was JS Giguere

That’s the best rendition i’ve ever heard. Made me proud.
Wow, this STILL makes my eyes water up. Each and every time I watch this.
Same

A true legend, will never forget him. God I wish they could have won the cup that year!
wish he was still here today, Clark is just trash. Paul always brought energy to the building back in 06.
R.I.P Paul Lorieau and Joey Moss I miss them so much
Amazing... that is rivalling or perhaps outdoing some of the most enthusiastic crowd singing from the English Premier League. Absolutely amazing from the Oilers fans
Well they need something to be cheering about
this makes me so happy to live in Canada. It gives me chills every time I listen to it
When I am down and feeling sad.... i put this on and watch.. and then i am inspired ! i love this country it is truly great and the best in all the world !!
Anyone else back here to get pumped for the 2021 playoffs??!!! This has to be one of the greatest moments in the history of the Oilers! Love it!!!
Thats awesome!!!!! i'm a NYer and i love the canadien anthem!
0:57 That guys is REALLY into it! I'd normally laugh, but not here. That guy's a true patriot.
Well, he's one hell of a patriot! Good for him. :)
love Joey Moss :)
Daniel Babineau You are all mistaken. That is actually Dustin Brown
That guys been with the oilers for years I think he has some sort of medical issue poor guy
I love that you replied to a comment from 3 years ago, that already had multiple responses saying the same thing.
I'm from England and I remember watching this after school having recorded the game the previous night and I'm still yet to see a more passionate group than Canadians you guys are so amazing ice hockey is amazing love it.

I'm from finland 🇫🇮 and I love this anthem
I've seen this video several times and still, awesome!
I love this I believe this was the first time they did that and now it is done at other games too
Joey Moss in the corner singing is an Edmontin Heratige classic. RIP Joey
Robert Clark is keeping the tradition of letting the fans sing O Canada during the playoffs Paul Lorieau will be proud.
i'm not Canadian or American but I've gotta say that 'O Canada' is perhaps one of the most beautiful & inspiring national anthems in the world. If i was Canadian i'd love my country that much too!
Spine tingling
God bless Canada
Cheers from Australia
The guy at the 1 minute mark flat out is into the anthem and it’s a joy to watch

He truly is a patriot!
The shot with smyth in front and moss screaming in the background is so awesome
I googled my way to this clip thanks to an article in today's Toronto Star about various versions of our national anthem. This was quite spectacular! I got shivers!
You really have to be Canadian to appreciate what this video means to Canadians. Really awesome video that makes me feel great inside.
i am an american, but this is honestly one of the coolest videos on youtube. Canadiens are truely proud of their country and their pastime. gives me chills every time
I'd really love to see this done at a baseball game here in the US
This was truly epic.
This still gives me chills every time I watch it

Never fails to send chills up my spine.
we were watching this on tv, our family of 6 and we sung along.
I was at a recent Canucks game, they do it there too. It's amazing to hear our anthem sang that way no matter where it is!!
Mad respect to you guys. You guys have great traditions and fans. You're the U.S.'s better neighbor. Go Canada from Usa
18 years later. We are back.
Just heard Paul on the radio talking to Strudwick about this, had to look it up. Such a spine chilling moment.
Paul......... who???? Can't be Lorieau; he passed away last summer of throat cancer.
Persadish It may have been a pre-recorded interview. Either way, the guy was a class act.
00:58 you sir make me proud of being Canadian :) when I sing our anthem I will be sure to sing with such pride and honour like you
I was at the game that night. Phenominal.
I'm an American who plays hockey. If i was in this crowd, I would proudly sing along with them. Their anthem is powerful.
I was there!!! Best moment of my life!
Makes me proud to be a Canadian and a major Oilers fan
Love u Edmonton
Ottawa
As a Finn, I find this video extremely AWESOME!!! :D
