"HOCKEY PLAYERS"
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, shootouts, GWG's, new kicks, beauty chirps, showers with the boys, hockey hair, rookie parties, under-aged drinking, living on the road, cold rinks, early mornings, roadies on the bus, broken knuckles, missing teeth, breakaways, beauty ginos, 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, feeling the glory, fans, 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, backy shelf where momma keeps the peanut butter, bar and in, 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, Jungle B, Junior A, CHL, US COLLEGE, PRO ... It's never been for the fucking money, it's not for the girls, and it's not for the fame." The Boys " play because we fucking love it!!!
I play hockey because i love it. No man nor women could ever stop me from it. It is the reason i train day in and day out, the reason why i dream about lifting lord stanley every night, the reason i try in school and work so hard in practice. People call it a simple game I call it life. I will keep working until i acheive that goal of playing in the show and lifting the holy grail. It is the reason i get up at 5 am for early morning practices, the reason why i go to the gym through sickness and the reason i watch hockey highlights for 4 hours straight before i go to bed. I will never quit on my teammates and i will never stop working hard. I shall not pussy out of the corners and i will not give the puck up. I love to win and hate to lose, thats is why i will do anything in my power not to lose. I shall not stop playing ever .... I I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER
This is for the stars in the show and the guys going to the show, the boys in
the juniors living the dream and the die hards lighting up the beer leagues.
This is for the snipers, the playmakers, the grinders, the fighters, the power
forwards, the blue chip d-men, the bottle fillers, the men in the pipes, the men
on the bench, and the boys in the box.
This is for sniping ginos, chizzling apples, throwing sauce, undressing tendies,
banging home rebounds, making big glove saves, and burying OT winners.
This is for the dirty dangles, sick toe drags, backhand toe drags, spin-o-ramas,
bar downs, top cheese, One-Tees, snappers and clappers, big-time celly's, poke-
checks, pad-stacks, big hits and hip-checks, troller tracks, and toe-to-toe
tillies.
This is for the long bus trips, the early morning practices, the bag-skates, the
battles in the corners, the bad dental, the sweet flow, the playoff beards,the
chews, the beers, the tears, the laughs, the team shakers, the beauties wheeling
hot broads, and the gongers wheeling swampers.
This is for the wins, losses, and ties, the end-to-end overtimes, the gruelling
training camps, the pre-season exies, the regular season battles, the playoff
wars, and raising the championship trophies.
This is for anyone who knows what all this means, because you are a part of
the greatest game on earth
