Would this be the network equivalent of the "New Coke" fiasco?
Good. Now the "hockey theme" will be associated with hockey and not just CBC broadcasts.
Maybe Mother Corp could have Don Cherry sing "The Maple Leafs Forever" as their opening music.
Yeah TSN shows a lot of hockey RUEZ, and CTV and TSN are owned by the same media conglomerate, so on TSN hockey games we'll see the HNIC theme song now!
oh, and its just a matter of time now, once the CBCs NHL contract expires that CTV buys that up too.
Now they just have to show some games. I don't recall seeing many hockey games on CTV.
Ummm, OK.
Just so know,.....TSN is owned by CTV....

I don't like this at all. For me the song is synonymous with CBC and Hockey Night in Canada.
Doh, seems I should read all the posts before responding...
Anyways, I'm in agreement with this comment.
Well, I will save you the trouble of reading the expletives that come to mind.
CTV is dead to me.
TSN is dead to me.
CBC spent decades bringing hockey to every Canadian and now the greedy old bag sells out to CTV?
Dolores, you screwed Canada!
Hail capitalism! Good for CTV.
BIG 2x!
CBC is too wrapped up in their mission to redwash "Canadian culture" and just like curling and CFL, the'll soon lose hockey too.
