Who doesn't know this piece above what I think is the 39th parallel, and in
the northern US cities just below it? I'm busting my onions looking for an
mp3 of the old theme; not the newer rock-sounding one sanctioned by Molson
(have it) but the old one that sounds like big band or jazz, that Louie says
is the old theme from when HNIC was a radio broadcast. I have a very vague
memory of that version being used on TV as well, long before it became a rock
number. Any ideas where to find an mp3?

I think there are some butt-kicking theme pieces that never lose their flavor:
Barney Miller, Hawaii Five-O, and Hockey Night in Canada are three of them;
and we find that our couch potatoes (Stosh, Brandy and Sabrina) have
developed a taste for hockey gbecause when that music comes on, they all
three come and cuddle.

Blessed be,
Baha
