Lyrics
 
It’s a cold Winter’s day in my hometown
The lake’s froze over so they say
A kid walks by, with his hockey stick
There’s shinny down on the pond today
 
I grab my stick and I grab my skates
Pull on my tuque and I’m out the door
Gotta love life here in Canada
This is what god made our Winters for.
 
CHORUS
 
Just above the planet Earth
Almost heaven some might say
That’s how we feel when playing hockey
I’ll play this game till I’m old and grey
 
Throw in your stick for another game
Everyone here wants to play some more
Young kids dream of being Sidney Crosby
Old guys, still thinkin’ that they’re  Bobby Orr
 
Cheeks are red and toes are frozen
People think that we’re insane
But once you’ve had a taste of hockey
You can’t stop playing this crazy game
 
Someone asked me if we’re winning
I told her I don’t really know the score
She said “You look like you’ve played a lot of hockey”
I said “I hope to play a whole lot more”
 
CHORUS
 
Just above the planet Earth
Almost heaven some might say
That’s how we feel when playing hockey
Gonna play this game till I’m old and grey
