Flames invite new Canadian citizens to sing anthem

Families from three countries were sworn in before game

By NHL.com @NHLdotcom

What's the best way to celebrate new Canadian citizens? Take them to a hockey game, of course.

The Calgary Flames welcomed three families from Mongolia, India, and Philippines to the Saddledome on Monday to perform their citizenship ceremony in partnership with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. This was one of the events celebrating Canada's 150th birthday.
The 10 new Canadian citizens were then taken to ice level in their Flames jerseys to sing O Canada before the game.
