The difference between playing the Canadian anthem and playing, say, the
Swedish and Slovak anthems (using RPI as an example) is more
quantitative than qualitative I suppose. But, without the Canadian
players, it wouldn't be much of a sport to watch. I'm not sure that
applies to the European players. Personally, I think playing an extra
anthem is worth it to be friendly to the Canadian players.

Because the institutions being represented on the ice are American ones,
not
Canadian, and as all the players are residents in our country if not
citizens,
it should be a moot point. Hence that is why it is proper to play the
Canadian
anthem when a Canadian team comes to play - they are representing a
Canadian
organization.
Besides, by your logic, should we then play the anthem of any and all
European
players who happen to be at the game?
