The Mysteries of A Hockey Player
This pretty much says it
all.........The cockiest, dirtiest, most irresponsible
group of athletes in the world. Will do anything just to give
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, glove saves, countless hours of
practice, bag skates, puking,
thousands of dollars, making the great save, post to post saves, big stops, broken
twigs, new skates, packing bombs, dropping the mits, wheelin' broads,
coaches, adding the letter 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 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 save can make you smile all night, sniping the twine,
backy 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 If you are a hockey player and you are
proud to be one, pass this shit on with pride mother fucker, and let
everyone know the definition of man!
