Hockey Practice.
One hour of magic.
A time when real time
doesn't matter. When problems temporarily disappear.
When a new identity
becomes reality. Heart rates increase. Lungs expand. Legs burn. Strength
appears.
One hour of magic.
Coaches yell. Coaches
coach. Coaches teach. Coaches get lost in the moment. Coaches become kids
again.
Players work. Players
sweat. Players bond. Players get lost in the moment. Players are allowed to be
kids, even when they are no longer kids.
An hour that is the
same to a pee wee as it is to an NHL player.
Some psychiatrists
charge $250 an hour. Some hours of ice cost $250 an hour.......divided by
twenty.
An hour that hurts. An
hour that feels great.
One hour of magic.
New things are tried.
New skills learned. Old habits removed. New habits instilled.
Confidence nurtured.
Laziness deterred.
An hour that moves
faster than any hour of math class. When friendships are forged. Leadership
abilities appear.
One hour of magic.
Family members for a
moment are forgotten. New family members embraced. Illness and sickness are
gone. 20 bodies are exercised in unison. One common thread becomes a rope. A
team.
Hockey practice.
One hour of magic.
