ST. LOUIS — St. Louis Blues fans were treated to a special surprise ahead of Game 5 of the team's first round match up against Vancouver on Wednesday night in Edmonton.
Long-time Blues National Anthem singer Charles Glenn made a surprise virtual appearance to sing the American and Canadian National Anthems ahead of the game. Glenn appeared via video inside the Rogers Place in Edmonton, and on the TV broadcast.

Glenn recently retired from full-time duty as Blues anthem singer following the 2019 season, after 19 years lending his voice to the start of games.
Glenn has been battling Multiple Sclerosis for the past eight years, and said he wanted to go out on top before the disease progressed.
He's still "pinch hit" a few times though, notably delivering the anthems at the 2020 All-Star festivities in St. Louis this past January, and singing at other events in the community.
