KROKUS has recorded the official song of the Ice Hockey World Championship, which will be held between April 24 and May 10, 2009 in Zurich and Bern, Switzerland. Bassist (and producer) Chris Von Rohr and lead guitarist Fernando Von Arb wrote the track, entitled "Live For The Action", and will perform it live — along with the rest of the band — in Bern at the opening game of the Ice Hockey World Championship between Switzerland and France. The event will be held in a packed stadium and broadcasted via TV to 800 million viewers in over 100 countries.

An audio sample of "Live For The Action" is available for streaming at the web site of Switzerland's Blick magazine at this location.
