Canadian Gold

I saw that The Puck Stops Here mentioned this earlier, but I thought I’d also pop up the CBC video which announced the winner of CBC’s Hockey Theme contest. The winning tune is titled Canadian Gold. (And I like it. It’ll definitely grow on me.)
Incidentally, while the winner took home $100,000 and major bragging rights for all time, the ‘loser’—the second finalist—wasn’t so lucky. His compensation amounted to a piece of Patrick Roy paraphernalia, a custom-made guitar. Admittedly, it sounds like a cool bit of paraphernalia, but still, it’s Patrick Roy -related.
How freakin’ brutal is that?!

I like it. I think it has staying power, too - it won’t sound horrid and out of date in six months.

Heck, I would have been shooting for second place just for the Roy guitar

Sounds like a rip-off of the theme song from Dallas… but it’s not terrible. For me, I don’t think I’ll ever get used to the old song not being there anymore, but this certainly could’ve worked out worse, I suppose…
