In the major sports leagues featuring both American and Canadian teams, both O Canada and The Star Spangled Banner are played before the game, with the visiting team's anthem played first and the home team's anthem played afterwards. (The [[Buffalo Sabres]], due to their large Canadian fan base, play both anthems regardless of opponent.) It is common for the anthem to be sung in a mix of English and French due to Canada's official linguistic duality.
