The power went out at the Memorial Centre during the singing of O Canada by Missy Knott and her little brother Josh at Sunday night's Peterborough Lakers game, and the crowd stepped in. Amazing.

Then we started to sing the anthem and the power went OUT. Thank you to the #LakersFans for helping… https://t.co/sehb1oMCq9

Power just went out at the Memorial Centre during O'Canada and without skipping a beat the entire audience continues singing. @Ptbo_Canada

Oh, and the power did kick back on before the anthem ended—and the Lakers went on to power their way to a 7-5 victory over Oakville to take a 1-0 lead in the Best of 7 playoff series.
