Blast from the Past

This poetry was posted on the WCRHL message baord on April 8th, 2001, by Danny Aoun, then goaltender for Cal Poly Pomona. As you can tell, this was just after NCT III at Upland, where our teams didn't go as far as we had hoped. I think Danny was speaking prophecy, not just making up rhymes...take a read... Our hope is gone, the west is no more. SLO had a chance, but alas did not score. What comes next, sorrow and pity? A chance to dwell on how we were sh*tty? The answer is no, for our time will soon come, A time for the west to have the championship won. But when will this time be, if not this afternoon. We have the entire offseason to make that time soon. So use your time wisely, practice and train, Don't sit and dwell on your sorrow and pain. We are all champions, this is no lie. And as long as we want to win, our spirit won't die. Pomona, Santa Barbara, Chico, and SLO, We're all very proud of the pride that you show. A pride in the our region, a pride in the west. A pride from knowing that we all are the best. So regardless of bad reffing or playing a bad game, The effort that you put forth will never bring us shame. So till next season, when the clocks start runnin, Just remember that P-town is coming out gunnin!
