Team Christmas Poem
'Twas the night before the hockey game, when all through the rink,
Not a coach was stirring, they were all beginning to think;
The hockey sticks were lined up by the door with care,
In hopes that refs soon would be there;
The players were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of goals and assits danced in their heads;
with Coach Bryan on the bench dressed in his hawks cap,
at the other end of the bench Coach Trevor was having a nap;
When out on the ice there arose such a clatter,
Coach Ian sprang from the dressing room to see what was the matter.
Away to the ice he flew like a flash,
just in time to see Liam go to the box for a slash
The lights on the breast of the newly cleaned ice,
Gave the vision of David and Ivan each scoring twice;
When, what to Coach Erik’s eyes should appear,
it was our hawks all dressed in their warm up gear;
With little Mateo, moving so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment he would have a hat trick.
More rapid than hawks flying so fast, we tried to remain calm
As the parents cheered, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Evan! Now, Tyler! Now, Wyatt I see a five hole!
Shoot, Austin! Pass Reed to Ricardo to Lennox and over to Felix here comes a goal! From the top of the slot, and the back of the net!
With Brennan and Josh in goal the other team will not score, you can bet
And then, in a twinkling, the fans saw the proof
as the hawks scored again when Tristan threw one in the roof.
Just as the crowd clapped and began to cheer,
Issac broke a finger, OH DEAR!!
Cooper was in his uniform in the dressing room he would sing,
He came to the London tournament and would not miss a thing
the parents and Coaches were so proud it was fun to watch and sit back,
The best part was when the players got home they hit the sack.
Coach Bryans eyes -- how they twinkled! His dimples how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nose like a cherry!
His little mouth was drawn up like a bow,
For the Abayof’s in London it worked out the Uncle Felix had to go!!!
The team cheers loudly, “We’re black, we’re white”
Go ahead keep us in teir 3 we are ready for the fight!!!!!!
As the first part of the season comes to end,
All the players surely have made lifelong friends
Bryan sprang to his skates, and at practice he blew the whistle,
And away they all skated like the down of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim as practice was done,
Work hard at school and hockey but most important keep having fun!!!!!!
Remember these values and you will do all right
HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT
