Way of the Defender

Watching, roaming like a guard afoot.
Defend the red area and concede no points.
Be ready to wield a wing upon a shot.
Make offenders feel your toughness stress their joints.
'Stone Wall' mentality fit to all intruders.
Play the game with power, skill and pride.
Broken team play happens poised to shield and maneuver.
Step up turn back the wave a trangressor's tide.
A steadfast, consistent combatant no matter the stakes.
Willed to control the paint on a heightened plane.
It's the agony with the defeat, be certain an oppostion's fate.
Attitude and tenacity shapes a warrior's presence and reign.
