QUEBEC -- Caroline Marcil of Montreal attempted to perform the national anthems prior to the United States' 5-4 exhibition hockey win over Canada in Quebec Friday night.

She sang neither after twice failing to complete the Star Spangled Banner when she seemingly forgot the words.

After apologizing to the crowd, Marcil left the ice briefly, presumably to get the words.

When the woman returned to the ice, the carpet slipped out from underneath her, causing her to fall hard.

She left on her own and did not return.

After Marcil left, the decision was made to proceed with the opening face off without the singing of either anthem.
