First up, the Polar Bears take on the Canyon State Cougars on Saturday (9/4) at 3:30 pm, the complete schedule is here.

We got our new PB gear last night and it is pretty sweet!

Come out to the Ice Den this weekend and support youth hockey in the Valley, while getting a hockey fix before the NHL season starts!  Go Polar Bears!!

This year I am playing for Coach Nietzel and Coach Goldberg.  We are playing the Jr. Coyotes at 3:40 at Chandler Polar Ice. Tomorrow we are scrimmaging DYHA at the Oceanside Rink.  That game starts at 11:15 AM.

Our season starts with the Labor Day Tournament here in Phoenix.  All of my games for the season opener will be played at the Ice Den in Scottsdale.

Here we go!

Coach Dom let me play up in House PeeWee this week.  It was a lot of fun.  Thanks Mom for the video.

Here we go again! I went to the rink today to order my gear for the upcoming Polar Bears Season. Awesome new Reebok warm ups. The shell that I put over my hockey pants will have the Polar Bears logo and my number on it, that is so cool!

I can’t wait to get my equipment and start the new season! I have already started breaking in my new X30 Bauer skates and Bauer Vapor X15 hockey stick. Go Polar Bears!

At the end of March, the Phoenix Polar Bears played the Jr. Coyotes in the Championship game of the Grand Canyon State Games and won 6-2.  It was another amazing victory!

My Squirt A team finished the season undefeated in league games with a record of 19-0.

I had a great season with awesome teammates and an awesome Coach!  Coach Ed Kastelic taught me a lot this year, and it was an honor to play for him.

It was a perfect season and I will never forget it!

I was at the game in March when they won the WSHL Thorne Cup against the Boulder Bison.  We went on the ice to have our pictures taken with the team and the Cup.

My favorite player on the Polar Bears Jr. A team is the goalie Casey O’Connor.  After the game, he said I was his #1 fan and he gave me one of his goalie sticks!  I am also lucky to have bid on his Breast Cancer jersey and won it.

Casey and the Phoenix Polar Bear Jr. A players are great roll models and hockey players!

The Coyotes locker room is so awesome.  Across the hall;  I saw where they get their skates sharpened, and Doan’s jerseys were hanging in a dry cleaning bag.  The players sticks are lined up on a long wall and Upshall’s stick had a smiley face on it.

The Phoenix Coyotes Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Mike Bahn showed us some of the exercises he does with the Coyotes players.  It was pretty cool that I got to be his partner.  He gave us a good workout before going to the locker room to dress for the ice.

Included in the clinic was tickets to the Coyotes game the next night.  This is a great hockey clinic.
