Ode to Hockey

Sticks and balls,
Goals and walls,
It's the sport we love.

Whether once or twice a week,
You're still a hockey geek,
It's the sport we love.

The signs of love are clear
And can be seen everywhere:
Bruises, broken bones, broken sticks,
People willing to take major licks

The fans can't get enough;
They think we're all very tough,
Whether waiting for basketball to begin
Or just coming to watch the men.

Recitals and grad
Cause the gym to be closed,
And we get very sad
To lose our hockey abode.

In summer there are less,
But we stay in good cheer.
We do our very best
And know there's always next year.

Bruises and breaks,
Goals and mistakes,
It's the sport we love.

It doesn't matter your nationality,
Come and join us at hockey,
It's the sport we love.
