Training at Chandler MMA with the Master!

I have been working out at Chandler MMA for a little over a month.  In the beginning it was really hard, and my muscles hurt bad!  Now that I have a routine and I’ve been going regularly, I feel stronger!

Murph working out with Master McGowan

Working out with Master McGowan twice a week, has also given me more confidence.  I am doing exercises that will also help me in hockey, I use weights to mimic my face-off and I’m working on that explosive first three steps, while building stronger muscles!

Training is another part to being successful in hockey and if you put in the time, you will see results!  Master McGowan trains out of Polar Ice Chandler, he inspires me to keep working hard, go see him and he will inspire you too!

Congrats to the San Jose Sharks for taking home the Wild West Showdown Tourney Banner, in the PeeWee Division!!  The Arizona Runners came in second, followed by the DYHA Phoenix Firebirds and 4th place went to the La Jolla Jaguars who gave a battle each game they played.

Murphy vs Scott

The Sharks had a full hockey schedule playing in the tourney, as well as scrimmaging the DYHA Firebirds 99 team.  They put in a full weekend and still found the steam to WIN the banner!

Sharks #7 Scott and I played together for Team Northwest two years ago, in Calgary, Canada at the Stampede Challenge.  Small hockey world!
