Our National Anthem Singer
Wayne Messmer
Wayne Messmer grew up as a “city kid” on Chicago’s Southwest Side. As the volunteer P.A. Announcer for the Loyola University Hockey Team, the tape recording of the National Anthem broke before a game was about to start, so Wayne stepped up and took the microphone and sang it himself. Messmer’s extraordinary singing career started that very day at a college hockey game. and the rest was history.
The celebrated National Anthem soloist with the Chicago Blackhawks at the old Chicago Stadium, for 13 seasons in the NHL, and subsequently with the Chicago Wolves, Chicago Cubs and formerly the Chicago White Sox, he became known nationally as, “Chicago’s Voice of the National Anthem.”
