NEIL PEART To Record Special Rendition Of TSN Hockey Theme - Nov. 21, 2009

According to TSN.ca, Neil Peart, renowned drummer of legendary rock band RUSH, will record a special rendition of "The Hockey Theme", the iconic theme song originally written by Dolores Claman in 1968.

In addition to assembling a team of top recording engineers and musicians to assist on the recording, Peart has commissioned DW Drums to create a special hockey-themed drum kit specifically for his unique version of the song.

Peart's version of the theme song will be used during NHL broadcasts on both TSN and RDS throughout the remainder of the NHL season. Details on when the song will debut will be announced at a later date.

	Love Neil Peart, but ever since TSN got the rights to the theme they've been butchering it with shitty version after shitty version.

	The new CBC Hockey Night in Canada theme is actually growing on me. I do miss the one TSN now uses. But it means nothing if its not on "Hockey Night In Canada". A Canadian icon and legend like Neil Peart (and one of the best drummers alive) can do no harm.
