The Journey

This is where we grew up,

Where our closest friendships were made,

Where we learned to be part of a team.



As comfortable on skates as we are in shoes,

We’ve been through endless sprints

And countless games.



From the time I learned how to tie my skates,

To the time I learned how to take a slap shot,

I loved every minute of it.



We’re on the ice bright and early in the morning

Even before the sun wakes up

Or late at night when the whole town is sleeping.



Now we are all together

Working hard every day

On our journey to be the best.
