The sound ignites
an adrenaline feel
The sharpest edge
such powerful steel
It slices through
a frozen mass
And allows a speed
I need to last.
My feet, they burn
with new reward
The pain is forgotten
just like before
The time I spent
learning to slice
Through the learning
through the ice
Now I command
two powerful blades
And my feet rejoice
for the practice made
It molded my stature
into this man
They say only champions
can withstand
my hands they hold
a flexible tool
that performs a goal
I command to rule
the opposing force
feels apprehension
when they see me stand
with such contention
my eyes are set
on where they stand
I already know
where my feet my hands
will move to make
an ultimate goal
and set the standards
for others to tole
and work and strive
to be like this
a champion now
I taste the bliss
Time stands still
for a second that’s split
my eyes take in
so I’ll never forget
steam is rising
from inside my gear
thump, my heart
I know it’s near
determination descends
upon my brow
and I lower my shoulders
ready, now.
all they say
and all they see
was a terrible force
yes, that was me
the wind passing
force blowing
past my ears
tears flowing
passion fills
my exploding heart
this is it!
I am a part
of this awesome game
not many will play
a champion now
I will always stay
unstoppable, see?
ice submit to my stance
I command this role
legs powerful dance
the rhythm of sound
speed increases
I skid, almost stop
and silence ceases
My arms stretch back
slice through the air
then slingshot straight
smashing force so aware
the puck flies fast
spins on it’s way
the net submits
this is a moment I play
inside of my head
Only I can repeat
The feeling inside
nothing can beat
I let out a sound
not many have heard
my arms raised high
and I spin around
my teammates roar
with triumphant glee
Smiling we chant
celebrating victory
we feel the force
This Is Hockey

I grew up playing ice hockey! This makes me want to lace up! Grew up a big Blackhawks fan! Great poem! God bless!
