The Good Ol' Hockey Game
A tribute to the greatest sport in the entire world
True heaven on ice
Watching such an awesome sport
Gives me true comfort
* * *
Five-on-five combat
Players working day by day
To win and succeed
* * *
Forwards fire shots
Defensemen protect the line
Goalies stop the puck
* * *
Eighty-two tough games
A long journey to success
With bumps on the road
* * *
Unpredictable
Fast-paced, wild, and chaotic
Absolutely cool
* * *
A six-month journey
And after everything's done
There's still one more goal
* * *
The ultimate prize
Two months of blood, sweat, and tears
For the holy grail
* * *
When one team remains
Is it worth the intense pain?
The answer is, "yes!"
* * *
A great spectacle
Truly nothing compares to
The game of hockey

i used to watch the Bruin. At that point they won most of their games. It was exciting. It was fun reading this poem
I come from a hockey family so I understand your love for the sport.
