Sam Spence is the primary music composer for NFL Films for 24 years from 1966 to 1990.

Cinematic Hollywood orchestral music is the basis for Sam Spence's music work for NFL Films.

Munich, Germany is the adopted base for Sam Spence and his music work with NFL Films.

During the era prior to both NFL Films and Sam Spence, sports television music frequently sounded ceremonial, specifically fanfares and marches.

Under Sam Spence's influence, NFL Films used cinematic Hollywood-like orchestral music.

In his NFL Films music work, Sam Spence's influence derives from many world-famous Hollywood music composers, like Miklos Rozsa and Dimitri Tiomkin.

Phillip Spieller creates a process in which he juxtaposes music cues composed by NFL Films' in-house composers, like Sam Spence, with pre-recorded tracks from stock music labels.

NFL Films uses its cinematic Hollywood-like orchestral sound due to Phillip Spieller's work.

The Hockey Theme is the signature theme tune for Hockey Night in Canada, but also Canada's second national anthem, which the CBC used from a season ending with the 1969 Finals to 2008.

Dolores Claman composed The Hockey Theme, which serves as the iconic and famous clarion call for Hockey Night in Canada, with Jerry Toth doing the arrangement/orchestration.

Marcel Aymar, John Doerr and Marc Cholette serve as the namesakes of their own music production company called Majoma Music.

The CBC also commissioned a special theme theme for its Olympic coverage by Majoma Music.

Starting with the Summer Olympic Games in Seoul, South Korea, this theme tune, which Majoma had composed for the CBC's Olympic coverage, blends brass and percussion.

Ever since the Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, this theme tune, which Majoma Music had composed for the CBC's Olympic coverage, has also had unique arangements.

Due to CBC Television's successful coverage of the Seoul Summer Olympic Games, Majoma was also tasked with doing the rock/big band rearrangement for Hockey Night in Canada.

The season ending in 1989 was the first to use Majoma's rearrangement for Hockey Night in Canada.

October 1998 is when Hockey Night in Canada introduced a new (and iconic) symbol, co-designed by Susan McIntee and Nick Monteleone for Soho Post & Graphics and the CBC.

Besides, Soho Post & Graphics did other graphics for CBC Sports during the 1997 rebrand.

Plus, Dolores Claman's The Hockey Theme was rearanged in a synth form for the 1998 season.

For the 2001-2002 NHL season, Dolores Claman's iconic and famous The Hockey Theme for Hockey Night in Canada was done in a synth-rock rearrangement with live brass by Daniel LeBlanc.

Live brass are used for this 2001 rearrangement of The Hockey Theme to convey tradition.

Majoma's rock/big band rearrangement for Hockey Night in Canada made its return for the last NHL playoffs and the last Stanley Cup championship series before the lockout took place.

This NHL lockout caused the cancellation of the regular season, many matches of which covered the winter/spring season of 2005, plus the 2005 playoffs and the 2005 Finals.

The 1997-1998 season is the last that Majoma's rearrangement for Hockey Night in Canada was used before its temporary return for the last pre-2005 lockout playoffs.

Mirroring its status alongside Dolores Claman's legendary The Hockey Theme (specially composed for Hockey Night in Canada), the CBC's Olympic theme has been continually refreshed.
