For the final year in the J, Chad Nickelback wants to make sure the season kicks off with a bang. Calling in favours from across the entertainment industry, he really has some bangers lined up for the fans.

It will start with an unveiling of this year's roster accompanied by the music of Chad Nickelback while he skates around the rink, shreds on his guitar, and lavishes the crowd with his dulcet tones. This will be accompanied by an in arena fireworks show that will be sure.to get the crowd going.

While the smoke clears (literally) the teams will get in a quick warmup before digging into the anthem, while the puck gets dropped by world famous magicians Penn and Teller who will have the crowd laughing and get them into a great mood before the game.

Finally, we have Michael Bolton to come and sing the anthem, because who can disagree to a big sexy start to the night like that
