Hockey Night in Canada theme going to the Olympics

CTV made a substantial free agent signing June 9 after CBC failed to ink a new deal with the Hockey Night in Canada theme. 

The composition of ex-Vancouverite Dolores Claman was acquired in a Monday deal. CBC talks with Claman's agent John Ciccone broke down June 6. 

CTV now owns the 40-year-old instrumental, which will be heard on TSN and RDS coverage of National Hockey League games and during the 2010 Games' hockey tournament. CTV has Canadian rights to broadcast the 2010 Games.
