    In that vein, wasn't there national outrage over the HNIC theme song being changed? I'd hate to see what happens if the Canadian national anthem is changed.

    The HNIC version with Neil Peart and the other instruments is quite nice. Perhaps, being from South of the Border, my opinion isn't welcome or valid. But anyhoo ...

    It wasn't quite a 'national outrage' but the controversy wasn't about the theme song being changed but that CBC lost a contractual dispute with the composer and CTV/TSN bought the rights.

    And as people have pointed out, the lyrics to our national anthem have been changed numerous times over the years.
