“Arranging and performing this version of The Hockey Theme was one of the great musical experiences of my life,” said Peart. “Knowing what a big part of Canadian culture it is, our ‘second national anthem, I felt honoured to be asked to remake it. I hope everyone has as much fun playing it as I did!”
Already a cult classic and YouTube sensation, Peart’s popular version of The Hockey Theme debuted on TSN in January 2010. Peart’s version of the song is also available for digital download at the iTunes Canada store.
