Your body and soul are sturdy held together by your strength.

Your sweater is not warm, but your fiery passion makes you sweat.

The people around you are fierce, but you will not quit.

You and your mates are easily forgotten by the boys.

They may be bigger, but their attitudes prove they have yet to learn the game.

On the ice play hard and remember when you fight be the one to rise and finish it.

Remember that you are more than your skates crushing the ice.

You are the future, and when you feel defeated search the crowd for young girls who idolize your game.

And also, dear girl, never forget your mates and never hang up your skates.
