Well, ain’t this something, talkin’ ’bout these hockey fellas. Founders League, they call it. Never heard of it ’til now, but sounds fancy. Makes ya wonder, all these youngins skatin’ around, chasin’ after a puck. My joints ache just thinkin’ ’bout it.
So, they got this league, see. Lots of schools, kids playin’ hockey. Keeps ’em outta trouble, I reckon. They got games and scores and all that jazz. Guess it matters who’s winnin’ and losin’, though I can’t figure out why. Ain’t like they’re farmin’ or buildin’ somethin’ useful.
- They got calendars, schedules, them standin’s things. Standin’s, what are ya standin’ for? Standin’ to win, I s’pose.
- Loomis Chaffee boys, they’re in it. Won somethin’ back in January, a Founders title or somethin’. Good for them, I guess. Made their mamas proud.
- Been around since the 80s, this league. Long time for folks to be whackin’ at a puck.
Now, lemme tell ya somethin’, all this pushin’ and shovin’ on the ice, sounds rough. Hope them boys wear thick clothes. Don’t want ’em catchin’ a cold. My Billy used to play in the pond back home. Froze his toes off, he did. Had to warm ’em up by the fire.
They got reports, too, ’bout these kids. Scoutin’ services, they call it. Watchin’ ’em like hawks. See who’s good, who’s not. Seems awful nosey to me. Let the boys play, I say. Don’t be judgin’ every move they make.
This U.S. Hockey Report, they been around since the 90s. Keepin’ tabs on all the hockey happenings. Must be important to somebody. Not me, though. I got my own things to worry ’bout.
They got these prep schools, fancy places. Rich kids, I bet. Learnin’ all them fancy words and playin’ all them fancy games. Not like the kids ’round here. They gotta work for a livin’.
Founders League, it’s an American thing. Like baseball, I suppose. People get all worked up over it. Cheerin’ and hollerin’, wearin’ funny hats. Never understood it myself. But folks need somethin’ to get excited about, I reckon.
So, there ya have it. The Founders League hockey standin’s. Whoever’s on top, good for them. Hope they ain’t gettin’ too big for their britches. Remember, it’s just a game. Ain’t gonna put food on the table or fix a leaky roof.
That’s all I gotta say ’bout that. Now, where’s my tea? And somebody turn down that racket!
