Hockey Night In Canada Theme Music Contest

I just submitted my entry to the Hockey Night In Canada Theme Music Contest. Please check it out.

 

 

For you non-Canadians who are not familiar with this contest, here is the backstory:

 

Hockey Night In Canada is one of Canada’s most watched weekend shows. It features NHL Hockey games. The Theme Music to this show has been part of the Canadian lexicon since 1968. Over the past year there has been a legal and financial rift between the show producers (CBC TV) and the composer. Neither party could come to an agreement so the license for this original Theme song has not been renewed.

 

CBC decided to hold a contest to see if us Canadians could come up with a new theme. Thousands have entered (like myself) and the odds of winning are fairly low. I am going to assume that most views, comments, and ratings will play a large roll in the voting process. The goal right now is to get this submission into the Semi-Finals so you and CBC producers can vote on it. So please view it, share it on facebook, tell your friends if you like it.

 

I’m up against famous Canadians and other signed or former signed acts along with hobbyists and struggling artists. I believe that the theme I created is an appropriate addition to the Hockey Night In Canada program.

 

The name of the piece is called `Yours to Hold High.’
