MIDGET AAA EAGLES
Champions aren't made in the gym.
Champions are made from something deep inside them,
a desire, a dream, a vision.
- Muhammed Ali
Here's to...
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.
Here's to...
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.
Here's to...
sniping ginos, chizzling apples, throwing sauce, undressing tendies
banging home rebounds, making big glove saves, and burying OT winners.
dirty dangles, sick toe drags, backhand toe drags, spin-o-ramas,
bar and ins, top cheese, One-Tees, snappers and clappers, big-time celly's,
poke-checks, pad-stacks, big hits and hip-checks, train tracks,
and toe-to-toe tillies
Here's to...
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 tears, the laughs, the team shakers,
the beauties wheeling hot broads, and the gongers wheeling swampers.
Here's to...
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 cup.
And...
Here's to anyone who knows what all this means...
And The Boys Who Make It All Happen
Behind the athlete you've become
the hours of practice
the coaches who pushed you
the teammates who believed in you
and the fans who cheered for you
is the little boy who picked up a stick
who fell in love with the game
and never looked back.
What doesn't kill you only makes you tougher
