The Mysteries of A Hockey Player[/size]
This pretty much says it all........
The cockiest, dirtiest, most irresponsible group of athletes in the
world. Will do anything just to be able to tell his teammates a
great story in the dressing room. Live the dream until they are 35
then realize they never made it. Ladies love us, guys want to be
us, we are the soul of the universe. You lace up the skates, put on
the gloves, strap on the helmet, and walk on to the ice and nothing
else matters. It doesn't matter that you failed a test, your girl
is being a bitch, or that you got a ticket on the way
there...you're world is absolutely perfect for the next couple
hours. Here's to faceoffs, goals, assists, overtime, living on the
road, cold rinks, early mornings, breakaways, going top cheese,
countless hours of practice, bag skates, puking, thousands of
dollars, dangling d-men,
end to end rushes, big hits, broken twigs, new skates, packing
bombs, dropping the mits, wheelin' broads, coaches, adding the
letter "y" to the end of everyone's last name, the word "fuck",
pick up, tape to tape sauce, let downs, miracles and most of all -
the game of Hockey. Why?
Why do we skate back and forth night after night? Skating so hard
we throw up. Skating so hard your heart beat rings in your head,
while your lungs are grasping for air. Late nights, early mornings,
Friday nights, Saturday evenings, broken bones, torn muscles and
deep bruises. We skate through it all. Because we live off our
adrenaline, because the game frees your spirit, because the party
in the locker room is second to none, because you're invincible
once you step on the ice, because one shot can make you smile all
night, sniping the twine, back shelf where momma keeps the peanut
butter, the rattling
of the boards, the feel of the puck, and skates carving into the
ice is a rhythm to live by, because its possible to skate fast
enough to leave all your worries behind. Sweat is the cologne of
our accomplishment. Why?
Why would someone push themselves so hard the uneducated pussies
always ask? HOUSE LEAGUE, A, AA, AAA, JR.A, OHL, US COLLEGE, PRO
... It's never been for the fucking the money, it's not for the
girls, and it's not for the fame. 'The Boys' play because...... WE
FUCKING LOVE IT!!!![/center][/size]
Some people skate to the puck. I skate to where the puck is going to be. ~Wayne Gretzky[/size]

I went to a fight the other night and a hockey game broke out. ~Rodney Dangerfield[/size]
Hockey captures the essence of Canadian experience in the New World. In a land so inescapably and inhospitably cold, hockey is the chance of life, and an affirmation that despite the deathly chill of winter we are alive. ~Stephen Leacock[/size]
