the game is soon
the rush is on
adrenaline
is pumping strong
the ice is cool
the crowd is loud
music blaring
people staring
at center ice
the puck is dropped
blades of steel 
are rushing forth
you take a hit
the surge of pain
you pass the puck
attack is on
your in the zone
behind the net
a quick crosscheck
and now your flat
your wing comes in
and lays him out
back to your feet
and pass in front
your center's there
he gets the puck
in one quick sweep
the red lights up
deafening
the crowd is up
you scored a goal
to win the cup
its just one shift
just one minute
the rest of your life
is meaningless
for everyone
who's ever played
they know the dream
they know the pain
and for this they
give everything
this is hockey
this is life
