The First Time

On your own at the start of the season

Bright lights shined on the league’s latest move

Players thought about teams they had come from

And believed they all had much to prove

Beginnings always inspire dreamers

Spirits soar, and hopes abound

But it's hard to rise to the challenge

Especially the first time around

But the dreams we've dreamed lately

Aren’t going up in flame

It seems they’re turning out

More so with every game

So, get out on the iceway

And show us another sign

And take it to the limit

Now on the very first time

Don’t waste any time seeking payback

Invest all you can in the climb

If it all comes together tomorrow

How your pride and glory will shine!

And as you're fighting for your future

Though many don’t seem to care

So, you kick down the door

Breakthrough anyway and anywhere

You have so much to believe in

So, you keep coming back,

Goons and bullies can’t beat you

Or throw you off track

So, get out on the iceway

As you’ve done every time

And charge through every limit

Now, it’s all on the line

In the final parts of this struggle

No matter the score

Never give up on your brothers

 Keep fighting on even stronger than before

So, get out on the iceway

Finish this story with rhythm and rhyme

Take it to the limit

Win the Cup the very first time!
