The thing I miss the most about CBC losing the theme song is how cool it would be when you'd hear "THIS IS A CBC SPORTS PRESENTATION" with that opening music and then it would kick into the Ron opening, and then the theme.

Now it's some pussy song. WEAK.

I've got that opening with Ron exactly like you said. It was broadcast just before this opening. I'll get around to posting it one day. This particular opening was from the first show of the 1993 season, They did an opening montage with "Saturday Night" by the Bay City Rollers. Plus they included video of behind-the-scenes of HNiC as they were setting up for the first game. It's a really cool intro!

@surfer53 what makes you say that hockey died in June 1994? Because New York won or because there was a strike afterwards?

[avalanchesuperstar]

This gives me goosebumps. God, the nineties were kickass. That's when the NHL was awesome and there was tons of dynasties.

Now I'm thirsty.

i miss this so much!....why is it that everything now sucks compared to old stuff!

@lanceporter I have some video taken during the CBC/SRC strike back a few years ago when there were no on-air personalities/voice overs. I'll be adding more content after a hardware upgrade.

The greatest HNIC theme/intro ever made! Brought back so many memories!

[surfer53]

Am I the only one who thinks this intro and theme represents the last season where hockey made sense to real hockey fans? I'm so sick of people who just discovered hockey 5 minutes ago because their team suddenly won a cup. Hockey died in June of 1994 as far as I'm concerned. There will never be another series as good as that one. It's been down hill ever since.

This brings back memories, thanks for posting.

Hey all. at about 0:11, do you hear some sort of a high pitched sound, like a bird chirping.

does anyone else know what i'm talking about? Is it the sound of a guitar string being scratched? Seriously, what on earth is that, it's bothered me, quite literally, for about 20 years.
