This is the best arrangement of the song. The new arrangement they use on TSN sounds more "jazzy" and it just doesn't sound quite as good as this one.
The Hockey Theme should be in the Public domain. Why did TSN have Simple Plan cover it. That blows. This exact arrangement on the CBC was Canadian hockey.
the cbc's a bunch of fucktards. the original dolores claman song rocks and blows away the competition. the cbc claims to care for canada's cultural heart and then they screw this up.
Let's not forget which of our beloved political parties has repeatedly cut the funding to said "cultural heart," maybe if the Conservatives hadn't the budget would have allowed that theme song to remain.
ahah what do you expect he's a Leafs fan they think weird, they also think they can contend for the cup every year, and this guy also thinks TSN's hockey coverage is good and worthy which is far from the truth
This is the only song CBC should be using. All the submissions are ass compared to this. It gets you pumped, the 5 finalists that CBC showed yesterday were IMO terrible
my dad works for cbc...and the whole fact isthat the stupid lady who wrote the song,wanted a fricking WHOLE FUCKING lot of money, so much money that even cbc didnt want and/or couldnt pay it. so she said, bye and cbc said..wellokstupidcunt. lol
CBC doesn't need that hockey anthem challenge contest to find a replacement for the old legendary theme. They should use Nickleback's song. End of story.
Many people who posted anthems, their music just sucks, including one who's supposedly a favorite. A loser named Logan Aube
From Aurora, ON. His anthem named Hockey Scores is for the goats.
Agreed, I don't like any of the submissions. They should either use Nickelback's song (one of the only good songs out of that group) or buy the rights to another popular theme.
the competition they have going on for a new opening song is ridiculous, it will NEVER NEVER replace the hockey night song. it's been playing for decades and you can never take the tradition away. shame on CBC for taking our second anthem away from us. if this doesn't define canadian, nothing else does.

BEST theme song in sports:-D Also like the Nickelback/Kid Rock tune that comes just before, the two songs are the PERFECT way to get you pumped for Saturday nights...yeah, even if I'm watching my Leafs getting pummeled YET AGAIN every week LOL:-p;-)
i wish they kept this an alternate theme or something

The Nickleback theme music should be played before every hockey game on CBC.
Everyone, inclucing all Youtube users should put pressure on CBC to replace the present "new" HNIC anthem with this anthem.
The Nickleback version reflects our Canadian game today.
The one chose by people, made by a school teacher, that CBC uses now, is pure garbage. It's crap!
