Hockey season is upon us once again
The puck drops as the game begins
Players hold strong to their positions
Fans arriving from the concessions
As one and all rise up to cheer
That feeling of love for the game becomes clear
Knowing the strength of this sport in this nation
Looking around is an awesome sensation
We hope and pray for the final prize
We stand strong behind our guys
Through the good, bad and ugly
We boast of our boys smugly
It is all about the experience felt
When your favorite players are dealt
The outrage and violation
Is passed over by a new transaction
You swear when one of the boys gets hurt
You swear by the powers of your favorite shirt
Your jersey sports your number and name
Oddly your favorite player has the same
