We are in good company with their exceptional music team and can’t wait to watch this hockey season unfold”.
Oakenfold adds: “Check out my song ‘Ready Steady Go’ that is going to be used for the start of the NHL season on ESPN and will run for the rest of the year. My friends SICK PUPPIES did a kickass rock version of it! Good luck to all the teams this season. Also BIG thanks to everyone ESPN for pushing it out there.”
