Twas the Night Before Playoffs

By Coach Brian Acord

(Dedicated to Bronson Kunzler…who brought the leaves.)


Twas the night before playoffs

And all through the rink

Several players were skating

Their equipment did stink

They worked hard all year long

To improve their game.

Now the stats and the standings

All lauded their fame.

Other teams feared their teamwork,

Their passing and speed;

Which all seemed to strengthen

In this time of great need.

Their coaches worked hard

Through the whole hockey season

To one clear-cut goal,

They all knew the reason.

All throughout warm-ups,

Their focus the same

Coach smiled and felt ready

As he called them by name:

On gold line, on defense,

On goalies, and black

On Smith, Everett, Bailey

One name he did lack.

When up in the stands,

He remembered the reason

His own son, the winger

Who worked hard all season.

Bremen sat among friends,

His family and fans.

The rest of their season

Was out of his hands.

For the night before playoffs

He threw one last great fake.

His skate caught an edge,

His shoulder did break.

Headfirst into the boards

Was what sealed his fate

And now he cheers loudest

For his team to TAKE STATE!!!

Goooooooooooooooooo VIEWMONT!

We are having problems with the ice at our rink. We have a brand new facility that is only 2 years old but the management team has been around for way too long. The ice is in terrible condition and the puck won’t slide more than a few feet.

Does anyone know where we could find some policies and procedures on managing the ice at public rinks? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
