Mark Hoppus, one of the singers and founding members of the band Blink-182, marked the Colorado Avalanche’s opening game during banner night by singing the hit “All the Small Things” with the crowd.

That said, the reason Hoppus was on hand to accompany the crowd’s singing was because of the team’s fans who went viral with their Blink-182 chants in the playoffs.
Hoppus, who just recently beat cancer, actually opened up to Av‘s fans:
“What a season, what a team! Congratulations, you did it! Stanley Cup champions! Thank you so much for taking our group with you; it means a lot to us. Let’s do it again next season!”
Opening Night gave us all goosebumps as we watched the 2021-2022 Stanley Cup banner raise to the rafters and the @Avalanche start off the season with a win. pic.twitter.com/Sc3Q4jF2ut
