Hey guys,

I've entered the CBC Hockey Anthem Challenge—and I need your votes to win! For those who don't know about the contest, CBC no longer owns the rights to the old Hockey Night in Canada theme song and they are looking for a new one to replace it. For the one lucky winner there is a prize of $100,000 as well as half the royalties ($250 every time the theme is played). A total of 12,000 entries have been submitted. The judges will pick up to 20 semi-finalists on October 4 based on musical appropriateness, page views, rating, and comments. In short, I need your support! Please sign up at

(which will only take a few minutes of your time), listen to my theme at

post a comment, and give me a rating. If you like what you hear—and hopefully you will— please continue to show your support by spreading the word.

Finally, thanks to Aaron Tsang for his brilliant midi realization and to everyone who gave their helpful comments and suggestions. With a lot of enthusiasm and a bit of luck, we might end up hearing this theme on CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada this year!

All the best,

Joseph Trefler
