This version is the best one of all in my opinion. I just love this version. The CBC needs there heads examined for cutting the Hockey Night in Canada theme Song.

@Dan77able : What do you expect from a government operation?

[Frankonino]

That's the classic one!

The original and still best version. I didn't mind the later updates, but this is still the best version and the one I remember most. And if anyone thinks women never played a major role in the history, this, the ultimate sports theme was written by a woman - a fact a lot of people never knew until the CBC lost the rights to it!

I used to watch HNIC from very start to very finish just to hear both versions of The Theme Song. Must've been a Bettman thing to force them to change it.

I truly mis living in Canada in the 70's,And living in Renfrew and Lindsay.....

I mis Hockey Night In Canada mostly....

And listening to Dave Hodge and Dick Irvin...

What happened is, hockey became a product. It became something they had to try and sell to the US. Greed ruined the NHL.

There is just something inspirational about that music. It is so unique and so Canadian.

p.s. I like the look of the boards without ads plastered all over them too. Somehow we have lost our decorum along the way.

Neil Peart recorded a new rock version of The Hockey Theme last month, and the percussion-inspired rendition of "Canada's second national anthem" will make its NHL ON TSN debut tomorrow: Thursday, January 14, 2010 at 7 p.m. ET during the Philadelphia @ Toronto game.

Peart's rendition of The Hockey Theme also available to fans on iTunes on January 19 and his custom drum kit used to record "Canada's second national anthem" to be donated to the Hockey Hall of Fame.
