I can't see hockey players rushing around to this. This sounds like it belongs in the commentators box. Something to use before to spike attention and keep people interested in what the guys got to say, but not while people are playing. I don't like it.

I'm pretty sure it's not the "original", like everyone is calling it. As a fan of elevator music (I prefer the term "lounge"), I have to say I really love the new big band version. But I'm a lounge music fan, not a hockey fan... The "rock" version most recently used by CBC sounds like it was done in the 80's...

I listened to it twice, and the relaxed tempo is the most distinctive change. Will they be showing clips in slo-mo to start each broadcast? Then it might work. Apart from that, I really like the emphasis on the syncopated second beat -- which the previous version blasted through. It's easier to sing/hum/tap out, and it defiantly lingers in your eardrum. Anyway, it'll more than likely emanate from tinny 13'-inch TV speakers, or be drowned out at the bar, so what matter?

Far from a sports anthem which should, I think get a fan of any team ready to cheer the game on. sounds like something I would get on my phone, one of those rigntones.

It sounds so... bad. Not hockey at all. It sounds like what a music prof who hates sports would come up with. Way too much musicality and perfection.. maybe if there were less horns or if they weren't as crystal clear or something. It just sounds too perfect and practiced, not at all like hockey.
