Rancourt, a local legend, has been singing the National Anthem for the Bruins since 1976.
The first 10,000 fans on Dec. 20, 2010 against the Anaheim Ducks received an original holiday Rene Rancournament courtesy of TD Bank.
NHL players aren't the only ones looking for work during the lockout.
The Worcester Sharks of the American Hockey League announced that they have signed Boston Bruins anthem singer Rene Rancourt to a one game Anthem Tryout Agreement (ATO) for Sunday, Dec. 16 at the DCU Center.
Rancourt will also sign autographs before the game as the Sharks host the Portland Pirates.
"I would like to thank the Worcester Sharks for the opportunity to stay in shape during the NHL work stoppage," Rancourt told the team's website. "I look forward to get my vocal cords back in game shape in the AHL and look forward to making my Sharks debut."
Rancourt, known for his signature salute and first pump, has been singing the American and Canadian National Anthems since 1976 for the Bruins and has become a local legend.
Rancourt's popularity is so vast that singing holiday ornaments, called "Rancournaments" were created and given to the first 10,000 fans at TD Garden while the Bruins hosted the Anaheim Ducks on Dec. 20, 2010.
