You gotta love Patrick Roy's wink at 0:24

TSN fucked this theme song up. They fucked it up like nobody ever could.

[CPVinish]

The theme song will never come back, CTV now owns the theme song.

[deadnative3000]

its awesome to have the JETS back !!! now lets bring back the old theme tune !!! its a fukkin classic !!!

[iheartryanstyles]

Hey if the Winnipeg Jets could return to the NHL maybe this theme can return to CBC

[goedmonton]

@iheartryanstyles More like CTV acquires Hockey Night in Canada and then we can go back listening to The Hockey Theme every Saturday night.... just on a different network.

They weren't to cheep to buy it they just couldn't afford to spend their whole buget on one song even though hnic is't the same with out it don't be mad at CBC be mad at stupid amarican owned tsn and their unrelenting greed for something wholy canadain and what about who owns the copyrights to the song yell at her for betraying her country by selling out to big American controled companys sham on her I don't think the differace in price is so signifagent that you sell out

@jeanArther

Actually ESPN only owns a fifth of TSN; with CTV I think owning 80 percent of TSN and RDS

[carcake3]

The new theme contract expires this year so maybe the Great Hockey theme will be back on the CBC Airwaves.

[geebus023]

@carcake3 don't think so because tsn bought the rights for 100 years

[carcake3]

@geebus023 Really 100 Years?

[Inquisitive0Minds]

@geebus023 TSN bought the rights to the theme outright.

[guigovisk7]

the best theme!

[stupidusername84]

Noticed how HNIC has been crap overall since they lost this song? It's just they've just given up.

[Inquisitive0Minds]

@stupidusername84 That's because they've realised that they can't just sweep the good old theme under the rug along with all the memories of growing up with that theme every single week. At the beginning of this season, they were touting the theme like crazy, had players come on talk about it and everything.

People love it and identify it song with HNIC. The new one is just bagpipes and crossed fingers. And it can't and won't overshadow the original.

[stupidusername84]

@Inquisitive0Minds Exactly. It's an anthem to us. I just can't believe they would let it go over money.

[Inquisitive0Minds]

@stupidusername84 At the same time though, the CBC has been undergoing major revenue cuts. Good ol' Steve from Calgary Southwest doesn't like the CBC (government subsidies screws up the free market, bro), so they've had to downsize a heck of a lot, leading to the Olympic contracts, the CFL broadcasts, et al. heading to CTV as well, not to mention the reduced news presence.

Although, if the CBC would stop putting crap on... (Wild Roses, Steve & Chris, Little Mosque, Insecurity-the list goes on.)

[darkrailvx12]

OH HOW I HAVE MISSED HEARING THIS ON CBC! Screw CTv for stealing it...

[souless08]

@darkrailvx12 Nobody stole it.....CBC was TO CHEAP to re-purchase the rights to use it...

[darkrailvx12]

@souless08

True... I still don't like that!!

[BrownBrother27]

The Hockey Theme must belong to Hockey Night in Canada!

Like Monday Night Football (in the US) and its theme song, the Hockey Theme and Hockey Night in Canada go together.

[TheBryant13]

I miss this so damn much. Almost brings tears to my eyes.

[joshyboy1983]

It's sacrilege that "the second anthem" is on TSN!!

[BKAllmighty]

yeah I know, but the sound is so different. It dosen't feel the same to me. Plus it hurts to see TSN paired with the theme.

[almo8989]

@BKAllmighty Ya it's because TSN uses a different arrangement which sounds more jazzy. This rendition was used throughout the 90s and it still my favorite.

[BKAllmighty]

Although i really love the new theme, i miss seeing this before every game so much!

It really sends shivers down your spine.

[edmoil12]

@BKAllmighty

Watch a game on TSN and you can hear this theme any day. On second thought it still isn't quite the same.
