Yes, because they are all just dumb enough to think that their input will make the slightest impact.

So when Team N.A. plays there will be 3 anthems played.

Just do away with the tradition already.

Should just combine the Anthems into one:

Ooooo North America,
Our Home and Continent
What so mildly we hailed
At the twilights last gleaming?
Truly contrived love in Bettman's command.
With glowing puck, we see thee rise,
The True North-of-Mexico Hockey!
O'er the internet we watched
Were so gallantly streaming?
Oh, say does that star and or leaf spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of Johnny
And the home of McDavid

*vomit*

I was hoping for them to play this as the national anthem for team Europe.
