"Up and at em!" your jolted awake and slightly confused. Then everything hits you at once. Its five o'clock on a Sunday morning and you have practice at 6:00. You slink into the kitchen where Dad is cooking up breakfast. "Gear ready buddy?" wiping the goo out of your eyes you grunt something that passes for yes. On the ride to the rink you're in and out of sleep and wish that you never got out of your warm bed. Carrying your gear into the rink a shiver shoots through your whole body, its freezing. You wait by the gate itching to get on the ice. Cold wind flows by your face as you jet around the ice with the rest of your team, no regrets, this is the best feeling in the world, you're fully awake and anxious to play the game you love.
Too some people hockey is just a game, but we who play the game know better. It is a lifestyle that stays with you forever. Whether you're a coach, player, or just sitting in the stands you will stay with the game until the day you die.
As a young boy growing up in Canada you learn to love the greatest game on earth, hockey. To the people that play hockey it's not just a game. It's a way of life. Everything you do revolves around the sport. As soon as you get home from school it's straight to the driveway to shoot puck after puck. Then off to your wingers' house to play street hockey. Saturday nights are strictly for hockey night in Canada and you manage to watch both games, even though you know it's going be hell getting up in the morning for practice.
You're getting older and your love for the sport hasn't dwindled at all. Your learning how to talk and walk like a true beauty. Hockey is getting more competitive and the guys you play with are getting bigger and better. Instead of just shooting an endless amount of pucks after school, you start lifting weights to and eating as much protein as your body can handle. After the weights you make time for quick run and some stick handling. You're getting bigger and better to. In the locker room everyone jokes around and slaps on the gear, the music is loud and it's pumping you up. Big game against your rivals, it's sure to be a greasy affair full of chirping and dirty shots behind the zebras back. When you get on the ice there's no more joking, everyone is serious and plays with everything they have. You win the game 3-2 it was tight but half our team was in the sin bin through the whole game, your happy with your performance 2 ginos and an apple top line has never looked so good. |
