The Riptides enter Hockey Night in Canada theme challenge
Ottawa's Riptides have submitted a theme to the CBC's Hockey Night In Canada Anthem Challenge. You can check it out the 30 second instrumental "Get In The Rink" here or check out the supporting Facebook group.
Earlier we reported that Graeme MacKinnon from Edmonton's The Wednesday Night Heroes Wilfred Kozub from Wilfred N and The Grown Men had also participated. Their entry can be heard here.
Earlier this year the CBC lost the rights to the iconic and instantly recognizable theme song to their Hockey Night In Canada television program. They've since opened up a competition to Canadians to create a new theme, with heavyweights like Burton Cummings competing against basement musicians across the country. The entrants can be previewed and commented upon here.
