Tender Moment at a Hockey Game

This is just one of those feel good stories that restores faith in humanity. A little girl is singing the national anthem at a hockey game, and doing a beautiful job of it, when her microphone cuts out. I have listened to this a couple of times and there is an audible bang at the moment the mic cuts out so I think in addition to being embarrassed and confused the child singer was perhaps also a bit frightened. Now hockey games are usually more noted for fights breaking out than tender moments and sure enough you can hear some woman laughing. But this is where the story changes from one of a rough and tumble hockey crowd to a tender moment as the crowd rises to the challenge to finish the song. Not only is it a tender and touching thing for the crowd to come to the rescue, this little girl has a wonderful voice and we will certainly be hearing a lot from her in the future.
