anthem singer john amirante sang a stirring rendition of the canadian and american national anthems before the rangers win over the vancouver canucks in game 7 of the 1994 stanley cup finals. the national hockey league requires arenas in both the u.s. and canada to perform both "the star-spangled banner" and "o canada" (canadian national anthem) at games that involve teams from both countries, a practice that has also been picked up by major league baseball. however, from 1997, when interleague play began in baseball until 2004 when the montreal expos moved to washington, only the canadian anthem would be played at games between the expos and the toronto blue jays. one exception to this came in 2004, when three expos "home" games were played in san juan, puerto rico (a city in a commonwealth of the united states). at those games, both the american and canadian national anthems were played, as was "la borinqueña" (the commonwealth anthem of puerto rico). five years later, when wayne gretzky played his final game, amirante changed the line of "o'er the land of the free" to "o'er the land of wayne gretzky" to reflect gretzky's retirement.
