Friday January 17 9PM Dave Gunning Multi award-winning Pictou County-based musician, Dave Gunning has won CBC Music and Hockey Night in Canada’s Song Quest competition with his song, “A Game Goin’ On”. Throughout this hockey season, CBC ‘s “Hockey Night in Canada” and CBCMusic.ca have been searching for inspirational, energetic songs to excite hockey fans from coast to coast. “The original idea for this song came from David Francey and he asked me to co-write it with him. We worked on it some during a Celtic Colours Festival songwriting retreat but never had time to finish it,” says Gunning. “Last year during the NHL lockout we finished the song. I was certainly frustrated along with so many other hockey fans and felt it was good timing to release a song that encapsulated the old fashioned love of the game the real reason why so many of us play hockey either professionally or for fun.” Gunning was announced as winner of this year’s Song Quest competition during yesterday’s broadcast of the 2014 NHL Bridgestone Winter Classic® on CBC-TV.
