"Mustang Fever" We all came together, in early September, hoping it would be, a year we would all remember. We worked hard and we became a team, hoping that we could all fulfill our dream. As our year started to go by, everyones spirits became high. The guys all remembered the year before, When a town called Essex shut the door. They remember what happened, during.those seven games, the cheap shots, and idiots, and even their names. 4, Itis something the Stangs will never forget, Its something the Essex 73's are going to regret. We hope to win our league with a lot of desire, Because the Cyclones defeated us they set us on fire. They happened to disgrace us in our very own rink, Without much trouble because we did stink. So the Mustangs would like to hand out some advice to the teams who set foot on Mustang ice. We play hockey very seriously and for fun, And we do our jobs, the best they can be done. So with this advice we give to you, You may think your team's a lott better but it takes pride and desire, to wear a Mustang sweater!
