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.

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.
