The Chance May Never Come Again

Does anyone else get tingles down there spine and Goosebumps on there arms when CBC used to play that clip before the Stanley Cup Final showing all the big hits, goals, and bloody faces during this years cup run, with the song in the back ground “The Chance may never come again� For those who don’t know it goes like this: (Continued)
There’s a dream that lives
Deep in every heart
Heroes carve there names
Legends leave their mark
And its worth the sweat and its worth the pain
Cause the chance may never come again.
Give it all you got, take your best shot
The fire burns deep inside
Stand among the giants
Yeah!
For the game belongs to the swift and the strong
Though the flame burns bright in an instant it’s gone
It’s the spirit of the game
And the legend lives on and on
But the chance may never come again oh no
The chance may never come……..again.
Every time I see this clip I get so pumped, because it truly says and shows (with the clip) what the Stanley Cup means to us hockey players, especially Canadians. We grow up playing street hockey dreaming about going in on a breakaway for game seven and scoring that goal that clinches the Stanley Cup. How many times have you thought about that? The game means so much to all of us, and when Don Cherry says that you need more Canadians on your team then anything else to win the cup, its true – Canucks are born with that desire, respect, and drive to dare to dream – and to do anything it takes to get that Stanley Cup. I am not saying Americans or Euros cant learn to want that cup, or that they don’t really care about winning it because we all know they want to win real bad too. I am just saying there a fire within Canadians because the Cup is part of our culture.
And those who do get to the NHL and get the shot at it give it there all….because they know the chance may never come again.
