Paul Lorieau

Paul Lorieau is the long-time National Anthem singer for the Edmonton Oilers of the National Hockey League. He is of French-Canadian descent.

At the beginning of Game 3 of the 2006 NHL Western Conference Finals between the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim and the Oilers, he sang only a few lines of "O Canada" before letting the audience sing the rest of the song without him. This was done at all remaining Oilers home games throughout the rest of the 2006 playoffs, and even at the first few Oilers home games at the beginning of the 2006-07 NHL season.
