Canada/World Cup didn't have gimmick teams IIRC. Really thou, the Canada Cup was different... that was played before professionals could compete in the Olympics so it was the only venue to see the best national team that you could. Additional it was also more emotional charged by the Cold War.
I get what you're saying... for my money the 87 Canada Cup was the greatest hockey ever played. But this isn't that.

As for anthems... Ode to Joy is the EU anthem so I imagine they use that. As for Team North America... I dunno... "X Gon Giv it to Ya" for the under 23's?
