Sunnyside Singer Will Perform Anthem At Stanley Cup Playoffs… Here’s What It Might Sound Like
Raised in Enumclaw and Sunnyside and trained in opera, Jim Cornelison will sing the national anthem for the Chicago Blackhawks when the NHL Stanley Cup finals begins.
According to this NPR story, it’s not just a competition between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Tampa Bay Lighting – the anthem singers compete with the cheering crowd and with each other.
After listening to Cornelison we are filled with patriotic fervor! We are sure Tampa Bay Lighting’s Air Force Tech. Sgt. Sonya Bryson will also stir the crowd when she sings during the series, but we do favor our Northwest friends!
Here is a video of what his rendition may sound like. Talk about patriotic!

On a gray, early spring morning, I drove to Steilacoom, Washington, to catch the ferry to Anderson Island. I boarded alongside the line of other cars and after parking, stepped out onto the deck of the boat. The ferry pushed off from the dock and rocked a little in the Puget Sound before steadying.
I took this journey to the real Anderson Island to see from the water what inspired Northwest author Kirsten Sundberg Lunstrum’s new novel, “Elita,” which was published earlier this year. Sundberg Lunstrum was inspired while sailing around the Puget Sound to write a mystery novel on an island.
Sundberg Lunstrum read excerpts of the book at a gathering at Tacoma’s Grit City Books.
