It doesnt matter how hard you hit..
ITS ABOUT HOW HARD YOU GET HIT AND STILL HAVE THE STRENGTH TO CARRY ON

You lace up the skates, put on the gloves, strap on the helmet, and walk on to
the ice and nothing else matters. Here's to face-offs, goals, assists, overtime,
living on the road, cold rinks, early mornings, breakaways, 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
mittens, wheelin' broads, coaches, 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, top shelf where momma keeps
the peanut butter or cookie jar or whatever she keeps up there, the rattling of
the boards, the feel of the puck, and skates carving into the ice is a rhythm to
live by, because it?s possible to skate fast enough to leave all your worries
behind. Sweat is the cologne of our accomplishment.

The More I Train,
The Quicker I Get.
The Quicker I Get,
The Slower They Seem.
The Slower They Seem
The Easier The Game.
The Easier The Game,
The Greater My Threat.
The Greater My Threat,
The More Attention I Draw.
The More Attention I Draw,
The Tighter They Play Me.
The Tighter They Play
The More I Train.
Impossible is Nothing.
