The Carolina Hurricanes will bring back young phenom, Katherine Fritsch, as their primary "National Anthem" singer for this coming season. "KK" did an excellent job for the Canes last year after taking over for ex-Storm Squad member, Holly Wilver, the previous season. There are several superb singers who have connections with the Hurricanes, so the selection of Katherine is a testament to the confidence that they have in the youngster.
The Canes Country Blog has been following some of Katherine's "career" since she first came on the scene with the Hurricanes, back in the 2006-07 season. For more information about some of her success stories since then, check out this page as well as this one.
I was also informed that Katherine will be singing the anthem before the Carolina Panthers game this Saturday night, (August 23rd,) against the Washington Redskins at the Bank of American Stadium. Good luck "KK", we'll be watching.

I think that was a no brainer. That little girl does a great job.

Yes, she is a wonderful singer. I would like to see her sing the anthem without slowing down so much at the end.

I’m not a big fan of child singers.
No doubt she is amazing.
I just hate to even have an inkling of wonder about if the child is being exploited or made to sing at all these events. Nobody would know accept her parents.
Best of luck to “KK” and I’m sure she will do well. But I personally would be more comfortable with an adult singing the anthem.

Mateo-
I see where you are coming from, but I’ve met Katherine and I can assure you that she loves doing this. In my opinion, that’s the important thing.
We have an interview planned with KK and will have more about that in the near future.

Cool. I agree with both of you. It could be a bad thing. I think she really digs it, though.

As long as they’re not doing what happened at the Olympic opening ceremonies… she deserves all the kudos she gets. I wouldn’t be able to perform in front of arenas full of people, even if I HAD a voice.

Oh coo…. As long as the little girl is happy and doing what is best for her overall well being then I’m all for it. She is certainly very talented!

yeah Marc, that Olympic thind is soooo twisted. Of course, it is well known exactly what little girls are often thought of in China, tragic.

She has gotten a lot better. I remember when you could show up about 7:30(sarcasm) and she would still be singing. Over what she used to do, I can live with her slowing it down at the end.

I heard this little girl sing the national anthem at this year’s Panthers/Redskins preseason game and was amazed. Myself and the five other 20-30 year old men I was sitting with had to fight to hold back tears. Truly beautiful!

I was at the game last night and all I can say is “Wow”. Incredible.
