The Love of Hockey

The slice of the skates creates
An atmosphere of greats
They fly on the ice
Not the least bit of nice
A game of ego awaits.

For scoring goals, he really has a knack.
With him, I only have one beef:
He scored the goal that sank my Maple Leafs!!!

Fear of God

Put the fear of God in you
When you see a
A crack under your feet
Run the length of the ice.

Won't sit and idly complain.
Winter sports can be fun.
Frozen pond cleared for hockey.
Excited dog eager to play.

They're pagans on ice with wood sticks
And maximum pain each inflicts
But Saint Patrick knows
God prefers trios
Like three-leaf shamrocks and hat tricks

The calendar is brimming with hockey games
Season widows set up camp

Premium Member Aladdin Without Paddin'

There once was a boy named Aladdin
Who played hockey without any paddin'
   He forgot to duck
   And got struck by the puck
Now a cast is what Aladdin's clad in

      Hickory Dickory Duck
      The defenseman stole the puck

        He still didn’t score
        The game was a bore

      Hockey’s a game for Canucks

Premium Member Hockey Mishap

The score was even, nine to nine.
Coach said they were doing just fine.
	The Ref tripped and fell,
	released a fierce yell,
"Stick that puck where the sun don't shine!"

Sensor on a relay, really?

You Arrogant Puck

There was a tall brute who played hockey
Whose actions were deemed as quite cocky
His opponents saw red
So they stomped on his head
Now the twerp earns his keep as a jockey!

Iambic Hockey

Across the ice the players skate around,
Defensemen, goalies, wings and refs abound.
The stands are packed with fans with cups of beer,
The pucks invade the nets to raucous cheer.

Lady From Kentucky

There was a lady from Kentucky,
Whose husband always played hockey,  
She wrote poems on magic,
Until there was a tragic,
Her husband was turned into a key.

Premium Member Stanley's Cup

There’s a poor hockey player named Rupp
And though ill equipped, never gave up
But while in the big game
His groin was the puck’s aim
He said, “No sweat, I’m wearing Stanley’s cup.”

Puck Muck

Higgs was a hockey player built like a truck
he was mean, obscene, and had plenty of pluck.
Other players called him Klutz
declaring they hated his guts
thus he advised them he didn't give a puck.

Premium Member Stanley Cup 2011

Hockey season has just begun.
Now glued to t.v. for my fun.

   We have common dream,
This year `Lord Stanley' will be won.

Ups and Downs

At the beginning it is slow 
Speeding up
Like the fastest fighter jet ever
Faster
Faster
Screaming
Twisting Turning 
Flying Soaring
Endless ups and downs
Anticipation of an end
Finally the ends has come
Why don’t we give it another go

Like a Boss

LOL (Laugh out loud) xD
I love your effort
Kangaroo hops 
Easy and hard hits 

A little better than before

BAM (Be a man) o.o
Owning the Hockey Game
sssssslither like a snake
Sam! You're like a boss - Ooh! Like a boss
(hey man...sorry for my loss)
