RadioGaGa 162 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 I saw this and it kinda fits into what you're saying.HOCKEY PLAYERS: The cockiest, dirtiest, group of athletes in the world. We'll do anything and come back to tell our teammates about it. Live the dream until they are 35 then realize they never made it. Ladies love us, guys want to be us. You lace up the skates, put on the gloves, strap on the helmet, and step on to the rink and nothing else matters. It doesn't matter that you failed a test, your girl is bein a twat, or that you got a ticket on the way there...you're world is absolutely perfect for the next couple hours. Here's to faceoffs, goals, assists, overtime, early mornings, breakaways, goin' top shelf, bustin out the jiggle jaggles, countless hours of practice, bag skates, dangling, broken twigs, new skates, packin' bombs, adding the letter "y" to the end of everyone's last name, let downs, miracles and most of all - the game. Why do we skate back and forth night after night? Skating so hard we throw up and your heart beat rings in your head, while your lungs are grasping for air. Late nights, early mornings, Friday nights, Saturday evenings, broken bones, torn muscles and deep bruises. We skate through it all. Because we live off our adrenaline, because the game frees your spirit, because your invincible once you step on the rink, because a shot can make you smile all night, sniping the corner, the rattling of the boards, the feel of the puck, because its possible to skate fast enough to leave all your worries behind. Sweat is the cologne of our accomplishment. Why? Why would someone push themself so hard? It's not for the money, it's not for the girls, and it's not for the fame. We do it because we love it-I'M A HOCKEY PLAYER. :lol: i thought that was just a few people on my team. i'm glad to see that it's not just them.It's the easiest (and laziest) way to come up with nicknames...*L* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LilCharlie 0 Report post Posted September 13, 2007 I have to say that my experience with beer league hockey has been a lot of fun. Like anywhere else you find a beer league, I have had to deal with my share of douchebags but overall, the people I have met through playing hockey have been the best people. It's always nice to go out for an hour or so, play around with the guys, and then head back to the locker room for the "4th period" where you grab a cold one and bs about all the things you wanted to do or should have done but just couldn't because you were too tired, couldn't reach the puck or in general, just don't have the skill. I always find it funny how in my mind I see the play I should be making and the brain says "do this" but the body says "yeah right, this isn't going to happen". It can be a bit frustrating, but in the end, it's just for fun and for me, it has been well worth all the time and money I have put into playing this game.
