Don't expect to hear "Before He Cheats" or "Casanova Cowboy" on Kiss 105.3 FM -- ever.
The Ottawa radio station banned all Carrie Underwood songs from its airwaves after her hockey star husband, native Canadian Mike Fisher, was traded from the Ottawa Senators to her hometown's Nashville Predators.

Kiss 105.3 called the big-time move a "betrayal to our community" and charged that he "was lured away from Ottawa by a country-music superstar."
But maybe they weren't serious? Fisher, 30, isn't amused.
"I heard about it right away and Carrie heard about it and she was extremely disappointed and frustrated," the star athlete told the Vancouver Sun. "I think they meant it as a joke that really wasn't funny."

"I don't know if it was for attention or not, but obviously Carrie had nothing to do with the move or the trade or anything so to imply something like that was just wrong," said Fisher, who wed Underwood, 27, in rural Georgia in July.
As for the move to Nashville? "To be honest, I was praying a few days before about it," he says.
"I was just so frustrated and said 'God, if you have me go somewhere take care of it, look after it,' and he sure did that," Fisher revealed.
And life in the country music capital is great, he added. "He put me in a place I was comfortable with and I think that's part of reason that this is the place I'm supposed to be and that's comforting for sure."

It's Cowboy Cassinova...not Cassinova Cowboy. Jussss sayin'.
KISS 105.3 has never played country music.
Oh my lord that is pain stupid. Being from Canada and being a hockey fan. I find that the Ottawa Radio Station is blaming Carrie for all of it which isnt fair. They are married and should be together so their marriage will be stronger not weaker because they are apart. I think that Ottawa should get over it and just move on and enjoy the rest of the season
I say woo-hoo! Great for the predators, and great for Carrie and Mike. Welcome to Nashville........welcome home...xoxo
Why wouldn't Mike Fisher want to be closer to his wife. Let's face it; he can play hockey anywhere, but Ottawa isn't the place for her to re-locate to further her career...and I'm Canadian
anybody who follows hockey knows that the senators were looking to make major changes and the trade probably had very little to do with what mike wanted.
haha!
People forget that athletes and celebrities have lives too. Many people move/change jobs for their spouses. However, they made it clear that this was NOT the case. lol. Either way, good for them!
