I wish they would take the Sportsnet logos off of Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts. Doesn't feel the same when I see rogers stuff everywhere on Saturday night.
Sportsnet literally produces the broadcasts in the first place, so while sentimentally I agree, from a practical standpoint I don't agree. Same thing with ESPN producing ABC's sports coverage.
I like the old intro way better for Hockey Night in Canada. if I remember correct the old intro didn't show anything that involves Sportsnet other than Hockey Night in Canada
Also being from the states, I actually was cool with it when I heard it for the first time. But then I heard Canadian Gold and the original, and I completely understand why everyone thinks this is incredibly bland.
This reminds me of the letters intro that I loved when I was little. It's where we see a puck with the old HNIC logo falling on the ice, then the letters that spell HOCKEY is over an animated footage of Habs & Leafs players and more letters that spell HOCKEY is all over footage of the players as the words HOCKEY flashes, then NIGHT flashes then fades slowly including the letters that spell HOCKEY leading to MOLSON HOCKEY NIGHT IN CANADA ON CBC. I remember that one.
My favourite part is when the 1967 Leafs are heading out of the dressing room. I wish it was used on the Leafs on Sportsnet intro last year before we see Marner or Matthews, Tavares and the fans.
@@nottimhortons I wanted it back on cbc just for nostalgia, but over the last two years, i hope their budget is slashed until they are almost nothing. That will never happen with the current gvmt though
@@tygoose Idk. Personally, I care about the CBC, and I do enjoy some shows of theirs. Especially 22. I’m just saying that if CBC wants “the good old days” back, it probably needs to be a lot more stronger than it is now. Especially on the English side.
What changed since the 90's? TSN(Bell Media) Owns the Hockey Theme Strombo was host of HNIC for a bit(WEIRD) No Bob Cole. :( Don Cherry's mouth got him FIRED. :D
Rogers ruined HNIC. The music is terrible, the production value is terrible, and the intro is so dull. CBC had the best sports broadcasts in North America if not the world. What happened in 2006? Oh right. Well, I'd like to say that will teach us, but I really don't think so. Corporate sports is garbage. All the camera angles in the world doesn't always equal a quality broadcast. Whether it was baseball, football, hockey, curling or the Olympics, CBC got the job done. TSN was good in the 90s, but they've gone south too - in more ways than one. Once CBC lost the rights to the original theme music, it was all over. Whenever there's a game, I always mute the Sportsnet/fake HNIC intro and turn up the REAL intro from the early 90s. And if I'm in a really good mood, I turn on the original "Shoot Out The Lights" by the Carpet Frogs that played before almost every Canucks game (the 2nd game of the doubleheader) in the 90s. My ears bleed when I listen to Sportsnet's Canucks intro now. It sounds like someone wanted to destroy R&B once and for all.
This sucks!!!!! Thank god I was around when the best intro from 60s was played. It gave you chills when we heard this when we craved a Saturday night toronto game after a hard work week and cold Molson. This one does nothing.
The first footage of a Suzuki should've been Guy Lafleur, Marner should've been replaced with the 67 Leafs, Gaudreau should've been replaced with Theo Fleury, the footages of the Avs Blues game should've been Bobby Orr's famous goal, and Kane should've been replaced with Bobby Hull.
I'd say it's pretty sad that they got rid of the 2014-2021 score counter. It had lots of character and lots of colors, now it's bland as all heck. Literally just the team's colors and white. Companies just want to simplify sh*t, don't they!?
Of course it has to be a woman doing the voice. I’m fine with it if the last guy got canned or something, but when they just get him off of there in order to bring in a woman, it’s just stupid. Her voice is nowhere near as epic as his. His voice was perfect! “The following is a presentation of Sportsnet and Hockey Night In Canada, in association with the National Hockey League!” Now HNIC is almost out of this…everything is Sportsnet now. If CBC can’t get HNIC back in 2024, it’s gone for good. Soon it’ll just be the same as any other night: Scotiabank Saturday Night Hockey.
2026 is the end of the 12 year deal, CBC said it had no interest in purchasing pro sports, keep in mind Rogers did not need to sublicense Saturday Night games to CBC and playoff games so then Hockey Night In Canada would already be dead because CBC owns HNIC name.
@@DickyCox if bell media purchase the rights in 2026 they need to have CBC on the air with them and it’s good if TSN RDS CTV gets it since they have the original HNIC theme and know how to run stuff with other broadcasters. if CBC gets it it may not be the same but it will be better the original Canadian gold or the original HNIC theme and CBC can partner with TSN like in the 2010s thru 2014. and I think the reason why TSN bought the HNIC theme was to help CBC since they thought that they might lose the rights and they did but when they lost it they thought they could buy the rights but Rogers had to use their cell service budget to help with the rights. They did not even think they just said 5.3 BILLION oh sh*t why did I say that and betman said SOLD TO ROGERS. And all of Canada was pissed. CBC was pissed off that they had to say we are done. But in 2021 CBC along side with TSN and RDS they have CHL Canadian hockey league rights and its epic not the best graphics and stuff but it’s good to see hockey running by CBC not by stupid Rogers and their cell service and fraud. HNIC will be here forever until Rogers nukes us
@@CableCable9000 They lost the hockey theme rights in 2008 and they never parnered with TSN they split the rights with CBC having hockey night in canada and TSN having wednesday night hockey. If bell media got the rights I don't think they would partner with CBC because they have CTV and CTV2
@@profootballgaming9623 your correct i was reading the history wrong. But Bell media would not put games on CTV2 maybe CTV but if they want the hockey night in Canada name they need to partner with CBC and if bell won the rights CBC would of done the same thing as they did with Rogers. Here’s what I think of bell had the rights. CTV 6:00PM game nationwide except habs games and 9:00PM games nationwide TSN1 example Winnipeg jets vs Detroit redwings no blackout restrictions TSN2 replays and maybe CHL ON TSN or NLL on TSN TSN3 Habs games TSN4,5. I don’t know… (If they want to) CTV2 Ottawa senators vs New York islanders CBC. Stanley cup finals. Along side with CTV. but I made this in 2015 so it won’t happen.
This theme is garbage. The classic and second national anthem of Canada should always be the theme of Hockey Night in Canada. Where has our identity gone as a nation that we can’t keep a sacred theme intact.
I wish they would take the Sportsnet logos off of Hockey Night in Canada broadcasts. Doesn't feel the same when I see rogers stuff everywhere on Saturday night.
Kinda like what ESPN does when they air NBA or college football on ABC
Sportsnet literally produces the broadcasts in the first place, so while sentimentally I agree, from a practical standpoint I don't agree. Same thing with ESPN producing ABC's sports coverage.
As Tyler said, they literally produce it, it would be kinda stupid to.
They never will, it’s just branding
Cbc is owned by rogers so they have no choice
Playing this song before an NHL 22 game loads on a Saturday
Bruh I’m totally doing this next time I hop in nhl 22
Hockey Night in Canada 2010-2011 all time greatest, look it up if you haven’t seen it!
Absolute legend got this uploaded immediately, thank you 👌
I like the old intro way better for Hockey Night in Canada. if I remember correct the old intro didn't show anything that involves Sportsnet other than Hockey Night in Canada
they changed the presentation acknowledgment of the nhl a bit since this was updated, now includes hockey night before it mentions sportsnet
Sportsnet will never be HNIC on CBC
Am i the only one that likes the HNIC theme? Granted im from the states but it sounds WAY better than some of the themes we have here
If they get rid of the opening "the following is a presentation" I'd tolerate it a little bit more.
@@NFLD_RPAS well they did the same with the NHL on NBC and i think its more of an NHL thing. (the NFL does it for all of their broadcasts too)
Also being from the states, I actually was cool with it when I heard it for the first time.
But then I heard Canadian Gold and the original, and I completely understand why everyone thinks this is incredibly bland.
Personally I love this one, it always gets me hyped for the games
Oh look its the most amount of recognition sportsnet will ever give the flames or senators

When they brought this chick in instead of the dude they ruined it
It sounds like the old NFL on CBS theme.
Which one?
The footage where Armstrong & the 1967 Leafs take the ice should be used on regional Leafs broadcast intros.
i actually like this one more then the one before it. but noting will top 2013
Sportsnet has ruined hockey night in Canada
nah, the new format this year is way better than it was the last few seasons
@@tygoose still much worse than when CBC was calling the shots. They set the bar so low at the beginning that it looks decent now
@@tygoose what is the new format?
no they haven't.
Hahahaha Hockey Night Intro goes Doo Dooo doo do doo
Am I the only one who really likes this intro? I think it’s better than the old one
Not sure if it's better than the old one but it certainly is awesome and gets way too much hate.
I would love to tune into a hockey night in Canada game but can’t because I live in America even though I’m right on the Detroit/Windsor border.
I also love this theme ! It gets me pumped as much as the original one in the 90's . I hated that second one hockey gold or whatever you called it lol
I like this one but I still prefer the old
NHL requires to air the main game on CBC under a sublicence.
Nah bring back the old theme
Really really miss Don Cherry&Ron MacLean now....
I miss Grapes threatening to smack Ron in the face.
Bring back the old theme
That's owned by CTV. Maybe if more people cared about our public broadcaster, they'd amass more money to buy it back.
