What will happen to our Hockey Night in Canada theme song?

I've heard this song since I was a kid and I want to keep hearing it!
(a fanatic's rant, that's me, and resistant to change, that's me when it comes to that song)

spokes, and playing on backyard rinks and frozen ponds, on the street, and on those old tabletop games. Hockey ruled.

So, all these years later, being invited to create a new version of "Canada's second national anthem" for TSN's NHL broadcasts was a huge honour to me, and an exciting musical challenge. The day of recording and filming it "in the presence of the Stanley Cup" was truly one of the great experiences of my life. (Take that, bullies from 50 years ago!)"

And I never heard it. I missed the start of the game. I'm going to go find it now! Thanks for letting us know!

how can you change this  !...im curious as to how much money the copyrights were and how much they were offered ?

[monicavm]

It cost about $500 in licensing fees per game while it was on and Dolores Claman was offered the same amount again. Apparently she was asking for an increase of about 15 per cent, what her agency said was an industry standard. CBC also offered to buy it outright for a high six-figure sum.

It is because of people like you that Quebec wants to separate from Canada, and I am a proud French-Canadian just so you know.

[CanadaNS]

Oh my! I miss hearing this on Saturday night. I get it on TSN but, it's just not the same!

[blaynestaleypro]

CBC are a bunch of pathetic Jews.

[blaynestaleypro]

It's unheard of and a travesty against humanity. What a joke. Just fire the entire staff of CBC because of this. Yes, that's right, fire everything. Fire the earth. You can't just change the theme that's been a tradition for over 50 years. Are you crazy!?

Saturday Night Hockey doesnt feel the same anymore

[drogoKoJ]

another case that makes me feel we need to illigalize copyrights. another case of something we all love taken hostage over the almighty doller. nothing wrong with people makeing money off their work, but as was used for so long, should have EARNED the right to use it forever. what made the song popular thus giveing the oppurtunity to milk it? the fact it was used on hocky night in canada for 40 years.
