Ohh, what a shame, so it will no longer be, I Truly am disappointed in the lost of our nations national theme. That song is probably more well known than our own national anthem. If anything that song crosses national lines and unites Canadians. Just asking who can sing our national anthem, if anything who can sing out nations anthem in French. The lack in words in the Hockey Night in Canada theme brings anglophones and francophones together. Surrounding our nations only athletic pride, Hockey. I mean what else are we athletically suppose to be proud about, Down hill ski. This is the one sport we are capable of holding over the Europeans. Colbert even made a huge skit about it on the show, where he played the theme, and ate hot dogs and shot a gun and talked about killing beavers. It was offensive to Canadians, but still funny.
And now there changing there throwing out a competition to change make a new song.The winnings are pretty substantial, $100 000, which is pretty good considering you only win 50 000 for winning in fear factor. But the evidence shows. The new theme will take a long time to adjust to. I mean looking at all the current entries. The most rating that anyone of them have received is no more than 2 out of 5 stars. People just cant let go, I cant let go, it will never be the same.

Haha yea you are right. I probably heard that theme song before learning our national anthem. It is a pretty big issue because the song connects so many Canadians will now be changed forever. I do think that the song we come up with will not even be close to as good as the old one and will take some decent amount of time to sink in. I even could see us coming back to the “old school” Hockey Night in Canada theme”. As well, I also believe that another song “The Good Ol Hockey Game” by “Stompin” Tom Connors is a national song played in between the 2nd and 3rd periods all over the country. Hockey is our biggest national pastime but not the official sport of Canada which is Lacrosse and no other nation will ever be as good as Canada in Lacrosse, or even hockey for that matter. And for $100,000 might not be a bad idea to play around on Garage Band for a little while and see what you come up with.
