Neil Peart - 'Fire on Ice' - The Hockey Theme

Neil Peart - "Fire on Ice" - The Hockey Theme
IN 2009, RUSH Drummer and lyricist, Neil Peart arranged and recorded this rendition of "The Hockey Theme" that is used during NHL broadcasts on both TSN and RDS.
"The Hockey Theme" is a Canadian piece of instrumental theme music composed in 1968 by Dolores Claman.
It was widely recognized as Canada's unofficial second national anthem.

"Without exaggeration, this is one of the greatest experiences of my life."
- Neil Peart

The theme was associated with CBC Television's Hockey Night in Canada, and Télévision de Radio-Canada's La Soirée du hockey beginning in 1968.
In 2008, 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 can be heard on hockey broadcasts on the Bell Media-owned TSN and RDS sports networks.
