Nothing beats scoring the first goal of the game for the Phoenix Polar Bears at Jobing.com Arena; except for hearing my name announced in the Phoenix Coyotes House! It was my first goal at Jobing.com and it was another highlight to my year!!

The Coyotes had just won their game the night before, their energy was still in the building! Our game against the IE Runners ended in a 5-5 tie.

A BIG thanks goes out to USA Hockey for giving us the opportunity to celebrate Hockey Across America! Thanks also to my teammate Jack for the perfect pass and to my Coach (Ed Kastelic), who loves the game of hockey and coaching it! Hockey Brings us together!

This past weekend the Phoenix Polar Bear Squirt A team showed up BIG in Colorado for the MLK Tournament in Arvada, CO. Despite all the obstacles we faced, we were undefeated in 5 all games!

I missed my scheduled flight home because we made it to the Championship Game!! It was well worth it … the trophy was AWESOME and victory is sweet!

Thank you to the awesome lady at Southwest Airlines that got me on the next flight home to Phoenix, just because I was wearing a hat with hockey sticks on it! HOCKEY ROCKS!

Colorado Bound … Arvada MLK Hockey Tournament

After hockey practice tonight; picked up some Pei Wei, the fortune in my cookie read: You will be traveling to distant lands for business purposes. It’s true, I am heading to Colorado, that is … kind of a distant land and my business is HOCKEY!

I will land in Denver around 10:30 am on Friday and head straight for the Ice Center at the Promenade for a team practice. Our first game is Saturday morning at 7:00am, shortly after there will be a team pin trading ceremony, and then I am heading to the Pepsi Center where the Colorado Avalanche take on the New Jersey Devils. Look for me on TV, I am going to wear my Phoenix Coyotes Jersey to the game!!! The Phoenix Polar Bears play two more games on Sunday and we will finish things up on Monday.

Murph Meets Phoenix Coyotes Lombardi

murphhockey — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 20:09:33 +0000

I was so excited when I found out the Phoenix Coyotes Scottie Upshall and Matthew Lombardi were coming to Polar Ice Chandler to meet fans. Unfortunately; they were going to be there while I was on the ice for travel practice. My mom waited in line and got my Coyotes jersey signed, but I really wanted to meet both of them.

After practice my teammates and I were getting changed when the locker room door opened and Lombardi walked it. Matthew heard that we didn’t get to see the players because we were on the ice, so he came to in to take photos with us. It was so awesome! My teammates were so excited and we will NEVER forget it! Lombardi ROCKS on the ice and off!!

Phoenix Polar Bears Come up Short

murphhockey — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 04:15:48 +0000

I had a full weekend of hockey. I played in four games in two days for the Polar Bears. We played teams from Anaheim, Vancouver BC and San Diego. Our last game today was against the Vancouver Winterhawks. We played the Winterhawks tough, through the second period.

In the third we let up a couple of goals and eventually lost 5-2. Tough weekend!!

Our next tournament will be in Scottsdale over Christmas Break. Until then its practice! practice! practice! and a few Sonora League games and scrimmages to play in the next few weeks.

Yesterday, my teammates Logan, Trent and I had lunch and watched a tournament hockey game at Jobing.com Arena. Some of the teams were lucky to play on the Coyotes ice before they took on the Dallas Stars last night (and WON)!!

I am going to sleep in tomorrow, wish I was playing hockey!
