“In Three Words I Can Sum up Everything I Have Learned About Life…It Goes On”

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
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. . .
hockey's unreal. It’s my life.
