Get your hockey theme songs in now!

George was asking you this summer, if you wanted
Bragging Rights: the world will know you wrote an anthem that will be a key part of CBC’s Hockey Night in Canada’s broadcast. The winning Theme will be broadcast as a key part of the program during the 2008-9 hockey season, and potentially beyond.

The Anthem Challenge entry period ends August 31 st and if you don't get your song in really soon one of those other songs is going to be the Hockey theme for years... just sayin'
