Flames George Canyon the New Flames Anthem Singer

Calgary Flames ‏@NHLFlames 6m6 minutes ago
We're proud to announce @georgecanyon is the official singing voice of the #Flames in 2014-15! http://cflam.es/1sVRyla


Well, if you're going to replace a 16 year vet, why not with a bonafide country music recording artist!

Yeehaw. I just hope he doesn't sing it with that fake country yodel voice that new-country singers tend to have.

I'm not too optimistic that this will be the case, but hopefully he sings our national anthem "straight" (like Heather did) and not with a country twang. I hate when artists do that.

Not big on country music, but that is pretty freaking awesome. Hope he nails it.

Listening to the Chicago anthems last night really made it hit home the affect a booming male can have.

I don't know much about Canyon, but after seeing a couple music videos, he's just got a deep singing voice, not much in the 'twang department. Kind of like Brandt. So thats a good thing.

Anything other than an Auto-tuned amateur sampling Skrillex is unacceptable.

Wow I'm actually surprised that he would commit to this given the touring schedule artists of that caliber usually keep up. I think he'll have a good voice for it. I recorded one of his recent albums and he's legitimately talented and a very humble guy. His voice 'off the floor' with the band (not processed) sounded great which is not always the case.

George Canyon is one of the funniest people I've ever met. He should skip the anthem and tell jokes instead

Chicago's, Boston's, and Ottawa's anthem singers are males, and they're good.
