I think Canadian Gold was better, but this theme SOUNDS LIKE HOCKEY. The arrangement is wonderful, with the bells thrown in there, the Alex Lifeson wailing guitar at the end.. it sounds both cold and violent - the essence of hockey.
I agree this song should have one i mean I liked the other one but lets face it Canadian Gold is too Celtic it would be great for something like soccer but not hockey and Eleventh Hour is nothing like the other contestants who were just basically copying the old theme and Eleventh Hour was also new and fresh which is nice.
thankfully the other 13 year old finalist didnt win that was shitty
Canadian Gold is good, but it's the theme song equivalent of a one-hit wonder. CBC will have a heck of a time ever recreating Canadian Gold and keeping it fresh. How many versions of the original theme were there? I just can't see them making more than one version of Canadian Gold.
Eleventh Hour on the other hand has far more potential to be recreated.
Side note - did you know that the bagpipes weren't even in the original Canadian Gold submission? Bob Rock added them after the fact.
I don't dislike it at all, it might end up on someone's mp3 player when he/she's training. But to me, no, doesn't say hockey. Blame it on the orchestra, or more likely the maestro/arrangement guy (sorry, me no native English speaker). I guess we disagree!
DARN IT! You DEFINITELY should've been in the finals Graham....big fan of your song here. Congrats to the others, but a big congrats to you too Graham. I thought your anthem was catchy, it had a great start and a great ending....and....well, everything about it was great. But no....jee, now that you didn't win, hockey night in Canada won't be the same anymore. =(

By far the best entry. Should have won.

It's not even close, this is above and beyond the new "Canadian Gold" theme...
This should have been the winner, it's just as good as the original.

Oh, his original was much better. It had more punch. Blame Bob Rock. Still, this ain't bad at all.
