- "The Hockey Theme" is a Canadian piece of theme music written in 1968 by Dolores Claman and orchestrated by Jerry Toth.[1] It is widely recognized as Canada's unofficial second national anthem.[2][3][4][5]
The theme was associated with CBC Television's Hockey Night in Canada, and Télévision de Radio-Canada's La Soirée du hockey from 1968 until 2002 on French broadcasts when the CBC lost its rights to broadcast NHL games in French and RDS aired a simulcast of Le Hockey du samedi soir, and in 2008 for English broadcasts when the CBC announced that the negotiations to renew their licence or purchase the theme had been unsuccessful and that they would run a national contest to find a new theme. The rights were then purchased by rival broadcaster CTVglobemedia (now known as Bell Media) in perpetuity. Since 2008, the theme could be heard on hockey broadcasts on the Bell Media-owned TSN and RDS sports networks.
History
Origins
In 1968, the CBC commissioned McLaren Advertising to create a new promotional tune for Hockey Night in Canada.[6] McLaren contracted Dolores Claman, a classically trained composer who had produced a number of successful jingles, promotional songs and television theme music,[7] to write the tune. Claman had never seen a hockey game in person and wrote the tune imagining Roman gladiators wearing skates. "It just arrived in my head", she recalled several decades later. Claman said she wrote it to reflect the narrative arc of a hockey game from the arrival on the rink, to the battle of the game, to the trip home, "plus a cold beer."[8] Since the song was originally classified as an advertising jingle Claman did not originally get residuals but only a one-time creative fee of $800. The piece was originally performed by a 20-member orchestra.

CBC should have bought this theme right out instead of paying a fee to use it. The Hockey Night in Canada theme is Canada's second official national anthem.
Well said,
Nice is not the same
This is the one and only version of HNIC they should ever play!
Grew up in Metro Detroit watching Hockey Night in Canada on Channel 9 from Windsor. Great memories
Oh God this great!!!! It instantly transported me back to my childhood watching the games with my Dad!
Yup I was teh official kid "rabbit ear" adjuster on the television for the old man:)
Me too
Alpena, Michigan, watching on CBC circa 1980...
Me as well - amazing memories.
I just love this tune
I miss this theme for the Saturday night hockey games on CBC!!!
I was 5 remember sitting on my dads knee watching the Montréal Canadiens been a Habs fans ever since! Watching on CBC Saturday night
This is the best ever version of the original Hockey Night in Canada intro/end theme. It brings back a lot of powerful memories listening to this as a kid.
Now picture the Leafs in the final deciding game for the Stanley Cup, and they start playing this in the arena as the players make their appearance on the ice!
Cool! The long version like they would play after the last game of the Stanley Cup. The CBC really blew it when they let go of this song.
Grew up in Erie PA listening to CFPL in London....watching for decades. At the closing theme they showed all the teams emblems. Such a great time to follow the NHL!
CFPL CH 10
Brings back absolutely wonderful memories!
I still get goosebumps from this song it sure makes you dream and feel good about hockey. Every Saturday night hockey night in Canada from Edmonton
Go oil!
I grew up in the states on the coastal side of the Olympic Mountains in WA. In the 60s, we had an antenna for TV that only got Canadian stations from Victoria and Vancouver, BC and Bellingham, WA.
I totally remember that theme song. We didn't watch hockey, and usually changed the channel when Hockey Night in Canada came on, but the song is memorable. I'm into hockey now, though. Go Kraken!!
Go Vees!
This sure brings me back to the 1960's as I was a you lad emerging into Hockey in B.C. Canada
The Unofficial Canadian National Anthem 😉
I always take my hat off and stand for this.
@@jvcpaints You're a good Canadian. 😇
Growing up in Detroit and watching Channel 9 from Windsor, this was a familiar sound on Saturday night.
Me too! We were lucky to live close enough to Canada to see HNIC!
The other Canadian National anthem. Has been played around the World🌎🌏🌍
Here in Montreal from 1952 to 1968 HNIC would join the game only starting in the 3rd period because Habs owners were afraid the arrival of television (1952) would effect the attendance at the old Forum (prior to renovations in 1968).
Back in those days HNIC meant something. It was the Saturday Night Canadian Tradition because NOT all games were televised back then like it is today.
Absolutely beautiful.
When we'd watch HNIC's live Canadiens games from the Forum, there'd always be this guy up in the stands yodeling away! Anyone remember him or know anything about him? Ca. 1964 through at least 1970. Merci! 🤗
PURE CANADIANA.
Tonight's game is brought to you by...Carling Black Lable, LaBatts, LaBatts Blue, Ford of Canada, Chrysler of Canada...and now...your hosts Don Cherry....and.
I remember this tune as a kid, as well as my uncle screaming at the TV during the game (he was one of 'those' guys). Reading the notes on this vid... something doesn't make sense... How does a Canadian Taxpayer-funded television channel lose the rights to broadcast games in French? If it's about residual payments, we should pay them, rather than bowing to corporate greed, or sending millions of dollars overseas to keep what little we have of true Canadian culture. Thanks for posting this tune.
When this comes on during the BCHL hockey games I can’t stop but sing
respect Dolores Claman
Not quite the original that was used on broadcasts but close
In fact it IS the original that was used on broadcasts, except that a small chunk has been cut out.
Nice 🎉
