Seven Days Done 😮‍💨

Seven days of hockey, start to finish, 🏁
Not a single moment did the spirit diminish,
From the first face-off to the final horn, 📣
A tournament worthy of the crest it’s worn.
The U15C fought through to the end,
Every backcheck, every block, every bend,
And U18C left nothing on the shelf,
A champion that earned it all itself. 🏆
The volunteers — they gave it all week long,
Tired feet but spirits still strong, 😌
The rink staff patient, flood after flood,
They kept the ice pristine and good. 🤌🏻
Roxie’s Café, you fed the crowd, 🌭
The siblings laughed and played so loud,
The parking lots were full but kind, 🚗
And Newfoundland — you blew our mind.
Seven days of early mornings done,
Of overtime and glory done,
Of little skaters finding their feet,
And U15B refusing defeat.
Every division, every age,
Each team wrote their own proud page,
From U9 right up the line — 📈
Seven days of hockey, every one divine. 🏒
So hang the banners, kill the lights,
Pack the nets and dim the nights, 🥅
We’ll see you next year, same cold air — 🥶
A tournament built on love and care 🤗
