This week we wanted to highlight a Country Music Week tradition that may be long to the past now…

Back in the earlier years of Country Music Week celebrations part of the extra-curricular entertainment was a friendly hockey game – usually between country music artists and radio / record label personnel.

At Country Music Week 1981 in Ottawa (40 years ago) the local team, sponsored by CKBY-FM featured all-star players (L/R) Barry Brown (of Family Brown), Ron McMunn and Wayne Rostad.

Check out those jerseys!!
