This SHOULD have been the winning Hockey Night in Canada Anthem!



This is my bro's Hockey Night In Canada theme that he submitted to the CBC contest. (He actually submitted 3, but this is the best!) I have to say that there hasn't been one entry that I've heard that I liked more than this one. Obviously, people will think I'm biased, but this tune is catchy and energetic and really is miles above any of the others. The winning one sounds like a mishmash - I can't imagine anyone ever remembering it! Ray's tune grabs you and it's catchy and memorable.

WHAT-EVER, CBC!

Update - thanks to GregP for redoing it with some appropriate graphics. :D

What I can't figure out is WHY CHANGE IT!!!
What ever CBC.
Shit they have a theme that every Canadian knows immediately -and they need to change it.
That just sucks.
Yeah Ray's is okay, but I just think the whole thing is stupid.

True enouigh.

The problem is - they LOST the theme to CTV! They were too cheap to pay what she wanted, so she sold it to CTV. So, you MIGHT be able to hear it on CTV or Sports network, but it won't be on CBC any more.

Now we get to listen to the winning crap on CBC. :D
