Blades in the Sleet

On frozen rinks, I lace up tight,
My blades carve through the ice,
The roar of the crowd, the game in sight,
My passion burning bright.
The puck drops and I take flight,
My stick strike with precision,
I weave and dodge, left and right,
My opponents left in confusion.
I’m a warrior on the ice,
my heart beating as fast as a drum,
Each game a chance to sacrifice,
For the glory of a hard-fought win.
I skate with power and grace,
My body pushed to the limit,
But I never give up the chase,
My spirit will never diminish.
