Peoria Jr. Rivermen Midget Minor: Welcome
Peoria Jr. Rivermen
Welcome to our webpage. Here we hope to have our schedule as well as season stats. Please feel free to look around.
My world exists in a place known only to those that have been there before. It is a place that allows me to escape the daily routine of life to experience moments all my own, yet shared with others.
My world exists on the ice, where I retain lifelong memories filled with the grandeur of battles past. It is here that life gives me opportunities to delve into a world only hockey players can appreciate. A world where anticipation is heavy with fear as I lace up my skates, knowing fate is in my hands with the stick that I taped.
What would I do without this game in my life or the place where dreams are made? What would I do without the dressing room, the smell of sweat dried equipment or the chatter of small talk as I prepare to go to war?
What would I do without the cold crisp air burning my lungs as I skate hours on end, early mornings, & late nights? What would I do without the traveling of long distances to take to the ice, or the sounds of pucks banging off of the battle-scarred boards?
There is only one thing to do and that would be to do it again, knowing that I wouldn't change it for anything. You see each time I put on my jersey I take pride in the very crest that means I am a part of something special: A group of athletes willing to sacrifice individual achievements for THE ULTIMATE GOAL.
