 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


No I don't mean professional wrestling
 hockey also has that reputation
Last night there were two not important games played
Those in playoffs have already been decided
In the first game it was a mismatch
the first period ended in fighting
Hey it is semipro hockey boys 16 to 20
Those who dream of playing in the NHL
First place against last guess who won the fights
But there was another game that night
Different teams and pride
Why I love the Ravens
TriCities had nothing to play for but pride
The pass was ugly with ice
Friday not enough players crossed the icy mountains
But the kids who did came to play
So what did the Ravens do?
They loaned the TriCity team enough players to have a scrimmage game
It became a fun thing my Grandson played for TriCities
It was a fun thing and he scored several goals for them
Making friends and sharing comradely
Saturday more players arrived and a real game
The score did not matter it was a blowout win for Ravens
What did matter was the ending
Usually there is rough stuff fighting
Like between first and last
After all the are the bad guys
The home team at end of game waits for visitors to leave the ice

Not these two teams Ravens and Tricity
This time they all met at the middle of the ice
Hugged, shook hands hugged again as friends
Not the usual tough guy exchanges
When not playing Tricity routing for them to win
Both teams went together to thank referees with hand shakes
A mixture of white and black uniforms leaving the ice
