The hockey world is remembering those who served in the military.

The NHL spent Remembrance Day and Veterans Day on Sunday celebrating service members in arenas and on social media.
The St. Louis Blues invited fans to join veteran Eva Millar-Galvan singing the national anthem before their game against the Minnesota Wild. They also sported camouflage jerseys for warmups as part of their military appreciation game.
