Same here. As I had mentioned a year ago, I don't understand why the TV station refuses to keep using this song. For me, this song brings way too much nostalgia.
It’s a snowy dark winter morning you wake up at 5:30 to go hockey practice, you turn on the tv and hear this song followed by his loud voice barking “now all you kids out there” and your on the edge of your couch listening to his every word.
Games 5, 6 and 7 of the 2024 Finals, I had a longing to hear what Don would say. He always had a knack to find just the right words of inspiration, and a good idea of how the game might play out.
A famous clip from Don cheer is when he shows the players all dressed up in their suits and say well look at em good ole canadien boys dont they look great!
I met Grapes at Lewis's Bistro & Delicatessen in San Francisco back in the early 90s. I just remember that old Grapes was belly-aching about the fact that Molson Golden wasn't on tap. He was forced to order Manischewitz instead.
This theme was used in several American markets. I first heard it in the 80s in Atlanta- the "Sports Final" show. Always did like the track. I also did not realize that this is the lifeblood for Canadians lol
This theme was not only used in HNIC, but was also used in the opening of the 2007 edition of the charity marathon Telethon in Brazil. The 2007 edition of the Brazilian version of the Teleton Brasil (Telethon Brazil) was broadcasted by the SBT (Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão/Brazilian Television System) in support of the São Paulo's AACD (Associação de Assistência a Criança Deficiente “Association for Assistance to Disabled Children”), a non-profit association dedicated to rehabilitation of physically disabled children, adults, adolescents, but also assists and supports other people with other disabilities. This edition marked the 10th year of the world's most-sucessful television charity marathon in Brazil. This theme was used in the 10-second opening countdown of the Telethon broadcast in this year.
@@luisrened1308 I didn't know that, how incredible. It is even more incredible that Rede Manchete at that time would hold its last FIFA World Cup before becoming RedeTV, yet it still surpassed itself.
Used to get pumped up to see a game when good old Don was part of the show. In fact it was a big part of the entire game for me. You people know what I mean lol. Peace.
Bang on. I vehemently disagree with his politics, but, and I remember saying this a lot during the CBC's "Greatest Canadian" contest in 2004 - he embodies Canadian society very well.
What did he say that was so wrong? Do immigrants support the poppy ? Nope! Immigrants come here and pass all over our culture and history. Nothing wrong with telling the truth. As they say the truth hurts. He only got forced out cause Roger's is too woke
Sportsnet is wrecking HNIC. Really wish more Canadians would get together and throw out Strombo and bring McLean back. Also get the old panel of Hrudey, Healey, Weekes, Stock and Friedman back together. Give Don Coaches corner on the 5 and 8 o clock games again not just the 5. It's a real shame what Rogers is doing to our Canadian back bone...
This is probably some standard production music. The (relatively) new producers of "Hockey Night In Canada", Rogers Communications, should commission an original song for the 2019/2020 season. Maybe it can even be a rap that goes "He's The Coach/His Name Is Grapes/And He Gives Ya Da Truth, Yo!".
So I’m watching the movie ‘Us’ and during the closing credits, a song plays, and all I’m hearing in it is the theme from Coaches Corner. I scan the credits, see a song title at the end of the list, TH-cam it up, and sure enough, there it is, same music. The song is one from the late and great Minnie Ripperton. The title of the song? “Les Fleur”. Suddenly, it all makes sense. The Flower. Play the song through and you’ll hear it too.
Imagine if one Saturday night this randomly played and Don Cherry appeared doing Coach's Corner as if nothing happened. The whole country would lose their shit, good and bad and I would be here for it.
Is that right? I remember it as a five or six-year-old. I was born in 1984, so we're already looking at a roughly ten-year span. That's pretty remarkable, when you think about it.
Kevin bieska 1 star funny guy that's only reason I keep in on or else I turn to something else in the intermission because they are only filling time. I find Kevin bieska interesting and funny the more I see only 2 years now felt like he always been there like Don Cherry
Excuse me. Where did you find this track!? It sounds VERY good quality. Did you rip it from a CD? If so, which CD. Come on, man. Don't do this to us. We need details in the about section. Also if there's a CD quality version of the 1988 hockey night in Canada theme (aka "the rock version) out there, man, I would kill for that.
Craig Palmer was a genius when he wrote this song after his trailer theme for "Porky's" (Network Crusin'), this song is whimsical and fun, just like Don Cherry, but what he said back in 2019 was just inexcusable. So folks, Canada's new home for Hockey is TSN and RDS!
Imagine if WWE's Jonathan Coachman used this song or if they made a "Coach's Corner" reference on WWE TV… do you smell what CBC would be cooking? A lawsuit, that's right!
Yup, this is Stock Production music, sort of like the background music from those old NFL Film reels and if you're a 90s kid, you would hear some of their music on major cartoons (SpongeBob, Ren and Stimpy and Camp Lazlo were the most notable cartoons to use the old tracks)
Gonna miss this
Same here. As I had mentioned a year ago, I don't understand why the TV station refuses to keep using this song.

“Coach’s corner with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry brought to you by Moores, well made, well priced, well dressed”
Goodness the suits he wore! 🤣
Man that brings back memories
Coaches Corner with Ron MacLean and Don Cherry brought to by Chrysler of Canada
well, well, well
Highlight of my childhood right here.
Going to miss you DON CHERRY!
It'll never be the same again without Don
Will never hear this again after today
After two decades, this song still resonates in my head.
Gonna miss not hearing this song on Saturday Nights.
They ruined the last piece of Canada the old
I’m going to miss hearing this music accompanied by Don Cherry’s loud incoherent ramblings
Rudy Overlord never be another grapes
Love his podcasts!! I can't stop listening to him!!! :))
It's OK Ron Maclean the sweazal, is just as bad.
blame the real Racist idiots that complained ...why they got away with it is beyond me
Coming back to this video ever Saturday :(
Good Canadian kid!
Really gonna miss this song
God bless u don... I really miss watching you
This usually means "Alright, everybody SHUT UP! You're about to learn about REAL hockey!"
this comment has not aged well
Quiet eh!
@@slick3985
It's aged beautifully, you sissy snake.
lol I hear it now: "SHHH SHHH SHHH!"
"but this is just the theme, he isn't even talking yet!"
"SHHH!"
@@slick3985 Lol.
Says you.
Don Cherry did nothing wrong.
It’s a snowy dark winter morning you wake up at 5:30 to go hockey practice, you turn on the tv and hear this song followed by his loud voice barking “now all you kids out there” and your on the edge of your couch listening to his every word.
Saturday Nights will never be as joyous without you Don. Seeing how bad HNIC has gotten, I’m just glad we have the memories.
Games 5, 6 and 7 of the 2024 Finals, I had a longing to hear what Don would say. He always had a knack to find just the right words of inspiration, and a good idea of how the game might play out.

I’ll never forget walking into my dads room a lot to talk to him and hearing this exact song with Don Cherry to follow. Nostalgic man. Good times
Whenever I think of Canada, Don Cherry is one of the first people that comes to mind! Honestly any country where hockey is #1 is alright by me! 👍
Makes me wanna watch hockey.
Music to my ears!
I met Grapes at Lewis's Bistro & Delicatessen in San Francisco back in the early 90s. I just remember that old Grapes was belly-aching about the fact that Molson Golden wasn't on tap. He was forced to order Manischewitz instead.
This track came from a package of canned music that broadcast stations subscribed to in the 80's. I believe it was Network Productions.
Fenway146891427 I found it on Killer Tracks! It's called "Flame of Victory"
This theme was used in several American markets. I first heard it in the 80s in Atlanta- the "Sports Final" show. Always did like the track.
I also did not realize that this is the lifeblood for Canadians lol
Network Music, Universal Production Music owns it now.
Best part of hockey night in Canada
Welcome back hockey
WOOF! WOOF!
Bow wow bow wow bow wow wow

I got one hanging for ya brotha

Also from updates of World Cup 98 France in Rede Manchete.
@@luisrened1308 I didn't know that, how incredible. It is even more incredible that Rede Manchete at that time would hold its last FIFA World Cup before becoming RedeTV, yet it still surpassed itself.
@@luisrened1308 This also means that Brazilian TV really liked this theme by Don Cherry from HNIC.
Classic Don Cherry and Ron Maclean!
This is from the Network Production Library - It was a big library in the 80, 90's
Used to get pumped up to see a game when good old Don was part of the show. In fact it was a big part of the entire game for me. You people know what I mean lol. Peace.

I wish the TV station at least kept this song...
1:04 Don Cherry Blue & the Waterloo Siskins jerseys in the background awesome
😭😭😭😭I miss Don

Colton Sand It's a shame Don only gets five now. Bring back the long Coach's Corners.
@@VancouverChokers im gonna miss that five from don now :(
Now SN wrecked Cherry ;-;
Miss Old Time Hockey, Coach’s Corner and 🍇 Don Cherry!
I LOVE THIS SONG :D
Still enjoy this melody 😁
This track is actually titled "Flame of Victory" and is part of the Killer Track's collection.
Now part of Universal Production Music.
W O W ! ! ! AND I SERIOUSLY MEAN THAT JUST W O W ! ! ! THEME SONGS DON'T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT ONE And I Don't Care What It Is Except For This
Little known fact: Comedian Freddy Lewis briefly went by the name “Grapes Lewis”. xoxo The Clarences
This is probably some standard production music.
The (relatively) new producers of "Hockey Night In Canada", Rogers Communications, should commission an original song for the 2019/2020 season.
Maybe it can even be a rap that goes "He's The Coach/His Name Is Grapes/And He Gives Ya Da Truth, Yo!".
I am a liberal but I found don cherry hilarious and I enjoyed watching coaches corner his firing was ridiculous
Being a liberal doesn't mean you have to be an overly sensitive woke a**hole. Don deserved better and he was/is right.
I agree with you entirely also make Charles Barkley NBA commissioner if Charles was in charge he would allow fighting after fouls
yes
wow! i cant tell you how long ive wanted and have been looking for this, bravo!
Really miss this
Classic time ❤
I rather hear this in NHL19 than the NBCSN theme.
So I’m watching the movie ‘Us’ and during the closing credits, a song plays, and all I’m hearing in it is the theme from Coaches Corner.

i need this back after tonight
Of all The Coach's Corner the ones that really brought the best of Don Cherry where the early days with Brian McFarlane.
Imagine if one Saturday night this randomly played and Don Cherry appeared doing Coach's Corner as if nothing happened. The whole country would lose their shit, good and bad and I would be here for it.
RIP don cherry
You mean like he is gone? Not passed away though because he is still alive.
@@althebrickfilmer2889 yeah I mean gone like not on TV anymore
@@Promissed_ ok
Petition for this to be the new Canadian National Anthem
If we were going to change Canada's National anthem, it should have been to this.
Play this at my funeral
“Coaches Corner with Ron McLean and Don Cherry….brought to you by Labatt Blue, A whole lot can happen out of the Blue.”
Is that right? I remember it as a five or six-year-old. I was born in 1984, so we're already looking at a roughly ten-year span. That's pretty remarkable, when you think about it.
@Canadian925 If Don was commissioner we could get rid of that STUPID instigator rule.
ARF! ARF......
ARF ARF ARF!!!
LEMMETELLYASOMETHINBOUTTHEMONTARIAHBOIS
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
GRAPES!
When you hear a dog in the song
Don Cherry!!
He Should Be The New NHL Commissioner!!
The people who disliked this hate hockey
Two Fellow Canadian Hockey Broadcasters I want to Meet,Sophia Jurksztowicz and Don Cherry!
RIP
Kevin bieska 1 star funny guy that's only reason I keep in on or else I turn to something else in the intermission because they are only filling time. I find Kevin bieska interesting and funny the more I see only 2 years now felt like he always been there like Don Cherry
:(
Free Don!
How about a new theme, a hip-hop rap that goes "Yo, It's Grapes! Yo! 'Coach's Corner"! Here's Don Cherry With All The Truth!"
The Famous Wave
I'm glad TSN didn't steal this one too.
0:01 0:16 0:31 2:00 Like the music to the theme song.
Did anyone see the CBC movie "Wrath of Grapes"? Just saw the first half and I didn't know this theme started way back in the early 80s.
You people!!!!!
Excuse me. Where did you find this track!? It sounds VERY good quality. Did you rip it from a CD? If so, which CD. Come on, man. Don't do this to us. We need details in the about section.

Jerk Store ...they ran out of you
Miss Ron and Don:(
Now heres Les Neesman with the news....
You people, people are so sensitive
Can you imagine if the races were reversed?
Craig Palmer was a genius when he wrote this song after his trailer theme for "Porky's" (Network Crusin'), this song is whimsical and fun, just like Don Cherry, but what he said back in 2019 was just inexcusable. So folks, Canada's new home for Hockey is TSN and RDS!
As much as I hate him he had a nice theme song
you people
Bruins had their lunch pail ac night last night
Where can i find it?
0:52
When was that Coach's Corner theme song made?
wayne gretzky likes and no dislikes!!
add Charles Barkley to HNIC and Kenny Smith and EJ
I could play 2:00 on repeat lol
@tamagoMMA TSN didn't "steal" anything. CBC lost the rights to the old HNiC theme.
Imagine if WWE's Jonathan Coachman used this song or if they made a "Coach's Corner" reference on WWE TV… do you smell what CBC would be cooking? A lawsuit, that's right!
Cherry is the Canadian hockey's Stone Cold. He would give Coachman a stunner.
scott johnson Your comment certainly hasn’t aged well, I think…
@@harambe4717 SJW scumbags everywhere.
@Canadian925 hey that's why i said!
Better times
surprised CBC hasn't DMCA'ed this yet... GOod find.
They don't own it.
Yup, this is Stock Production music, sort of like the background music from those old NFL Film reels and if you're a 90s kid, you would hear some of their music on major cartoons (SpongeBob, Ren and Stimpy and Camp Lazlo were the most notable cartoons to use the old tracks)
where did u find this man
atleast cbc didn't sell this one!
Why are people so sensitive #freedon
Clowns.
:(((((
