New HNIC theme - what do you think -is it any good??
 
. . . .and does it define culture in Canada (as more than one hockey fan has stated)??
Do people think of Canada when they think of hockey?

It's an OK song.. I like it better than the one that didn't win... but it's just not the same without the old theme. Hockey Night in Canada is more than the song, though...

I think we are defined by more than hockey, but I do think we aren't as willing to hold onto our cultural institutions as we should be - in favour of US influences.

Which won? The kid's, or the grownups?

(The kid's was Sticks ont he ice, and I thought it was really very good.)

I like it...I'm glad the guy from Edmonton won (okay, Beaumont...close enough!)

I like it! I thought I liked the kid's better but hearing this now, I think they chose the better one!

What is a hockey?
Is that what an Edmontonian gives a Calgarian on a date while they watch a poorly organized fight on ice?

Victoria chiming in.

I like it. We'll get used to it.
