Elizabeth Irving regularly kicks off Vancouver Canucks game nights with O Canada .

Irving 's version of the American national anthem at the WWE event was booed by the announced crowd of 38,493 at Rogers Centre in Toronto .

The 21-year-old from Coquitlam has been singing anthems for the Canucks for over a decade.

The first game where the American anthem was prevalent came Feb. 2 , when the Detroit Red Wings were booed.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau even told reporters earlier this week that, “We’re probably going to keep booing the American anthem” Irving was musically inclined as a youngster.

She sang her first anthem at Rogers Arena on Nov. 2, 2014 , when Vancouver hosted the Nashville Predators .
