 Contemporary poetry by Dan Donlan


This week the players kneeled on the ice
They stood at attention for our flag
Grandpa is a Air Force Veteran
They stood for
 a player on the other team hurt on the ice
When he returned to his feet
The sound of Hockey sticks
Was loud and clear
It's a contact game they sometimes fight
But they kneel for the right reasons
This week my Grandson was chosen player of the week
The USPHL a Nationwide Junior hockey league
In his interview, Ryan said, "Hockey is a team sport
and I give all the credit to my teammates, Said Donlan.
"They are the ones who put the puck in the net. I
am just happy we won two games."
After the game both teams stayed to shake
The hands of the referees. For Ryan,
Four assists and one goal as a defenseman
Is quite feat his job is to stop goals
Last year named student athlete of the year
I am proud he plays the sport of goons with humility
It is semipro hockey
The boys receive a year of college
For each year played
Ryan is in his second year 16 years to age 20.
He is seventeen still in high school
Several colleges have approached leaving early
His goals change daily, he want to be in Aviation
Ryan's SST score was in high 90's
