The greatest band ever, Nickelback, is slated to perform at the 2012 National Hockey League awards on June 20th at the Encore Theater in Las Vegas. Nickelback first played the gig in 2002 which helped launch them into the mainstream rock scene a decade ago.
"Nickelback's performance is part of a strategic promotional alliance between the League and the band. The partnership also calls for the integration of Nickelback's music into highlight reels during the upcoming Stanley Cup Conference Finals and promotion of the NHL on Nickelback's digital and social media platforms."
This past year, football fans denounced a decision by the NFL to have Nickelback perform during halftime at the Superbowl, even creating an entire online movement demanding the group not perform. Unfortunately for hockey fans, the NHL never got the memo.

It makes me feel really happy, because even the songs that are desperate, like, those desperate feelings were turned into something beautiful and productive and great.
