John K. Samson - Riverton Rifle Lyrics
We, the undersigned, put forth his name.Whereas Reggie Leach was born and playedminor hockey back in our home town.The Rifle fired his first 500 here,then slapped his way into the NHL.We, the undersigned, put forth his name.Whereas some of us weren't always fairto the Native kid on borrowed skates.Chippy Goolies and Ukrainiansin the corners with our elbows up.We, the undersigned, put forth his name.Whereas Reggie, on a playoff run,could make a dad go buy the new TVput his youngest by the window, placethe split antenna in her tiny hands.We, the undersigned, put forth his name.Whereas photos from the old Tribuneof Reggie smiling with the Stanley Cupcurled their corners, dropped off bedroom walls.Left a square of where they used to be.We, the undersigned, put forth his name to the Hockey Hall of Fame.We, the undersigned, put forth his name to the Hockey Hall of Fame.Therefore we, the undersigned, put forth his name to the Hockey Hall ofFame.
