From the moment we laced up our first pair of skates, we were hooked. The digging, the dangles, the top-shelters and the tilts. Morning, night and in our sleep. We play because once we take the ice, we forget that anything else exists. No problems. No hassles. Only hits and hat-tricks, one-timers, slappers, sick saucers &; backhanded toe-drags. We play for the glory of the best game on earth. We play because we are privileged to be able to. Like you, we play for the greater game. (c) nikebauer
