Frozen Glory

man triumphs only when there are no boundaries and with this game the boundaries are set in stone the team around you, the boys you have grown to know the rich and the beautiful have come to see the show steel cuts into the frozen water at our feet the black mistress has become our only focal our lumber bound together with adhesive ammunition I am never alone on the ice or near the ice breaking away or circling backward patience is the name of the game the more it changes, the more it remains the same my home's past-time -- my families passion nothing hits my ears quite as audibly; as the sound of steel on ice you were my first true love hockey, you are my only true love.

We have hockey here in South Florida, The Panthers, but I know it's not as popular as up north. I went to a few games when the team was new and winning. It's a lot of fun, although I've seen more fights than goals! An excellent write, Ingvar!! Hugs, Rhonda
