Huddy-the-Hockey-Buddy needs your aid

Whether you watch, have skated or played

Please listen as I try and help kids to dream

Of playing for Mongolia’s national ice hockey team

 

Mongolia and ice hockey are an unlikely pair

Soviet occupation made the locals aware

Of a game played with sticks, flat balls and razored feet

Two teams fighting to score on an oval ice sheet

 

The communists left behind a local love for the sport

Kids taping broken sticks and playing self-taught

Wearing skates too big, no helmets or protection

A love for the game spread like an infection

 

With hoses and shovels small hands started to build

Ponds into rinks that are naturally chilled

 

Wouldn’t it be nice if the kid’s skates actually fit

If padding was warn to weather the hit

If coaches could teach how to play as a team

Have the tools and direction for a hockey dream

 

Huddy-the-Hockey-Buddy is needing your aid

To donate old gear, that’s previously played

Off to Mongolia your generosity will go

Helping kids with dreams of being a hockey pro

 

 

Whether your support is in money or gear

Your generosity will bring on some Mongolian cheer
