I sit in the locker room still
Silent as our team prepares for the game
Coach bursts into the room
We stand ready
The team lines up
We stand together as a team ready to go
The door opens we fly onto the ice
Led by our goalie
Skate around in circles for a minute
Clock counting down
We do our warm up
Together we stand ready to play
The ref drops the puck
Game time
Sticks clash
The puck flying
Someone breaks free with the puck
He bursts down the ice
Shot
I see the net swish back as the puck hits
GOAL
