March 2, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

JR took me and my Mom into the Sharks Locker Room this afternoon. I met just about all the NHL Sharks. Patrick Marleau gave me his stick and JR gave me his gloves and one of his sticks and they both signed them! This is Awesome! I even spent some time with Claude Lemieux, Joe Thorton, Jonathan Cheechoo, Rob Blake and Brian Boucher. This is Awesome! My Mom video taped me meeting everyone, I will post the videos when I get home.

Here is a picture my Mom took of me with her phone with JR’s Gloves. Hockey Rocks!”

Now it’s off to lunch!

Murph stops to admire the First Emperor of China Statue on display in San Diego. The First Emperor is responsible for building the Great Wall.

The Jr. Coyotes knocked down a great wall during their Championship Game in San Diego this past weekend! The Dallas Penguins had not lost a game in 2 years, prior to taking on the Jr. Coyotes.

The game was tied 4-4, and the scored remained tied at the end of OT. During the shoot out, the Jr. Coyotes came up big in goal! Our goalie blocked all of the Dallas Penguins shots. Our 4th player scored the game winning goal for us! It was AWESOME! Jr. Coyotes WIN 5-4!!

The Dallas Penguins had a great team and it was an awesome game, all the way to the end. What an exciting time for the Jr. Coyotes!

Totally awesome shut-out for the Jr. Coyotes Goalie vs the San Diego Saints. What a Valentine treat that was!! I had a good game and picked up a goal and two assists. Looking forward to the BIG game vs the Jr. Sharks bright and early tomorrow morning, we have a 9am game.

I meet some of the Dallas Penguins players this morning at breakfast. Then we headed to see the Seals on the beach, it was so cool. We stopped and had lunch at a really awesome place and headed back to get ready for the game. I am having a great time with my dad and Becca.

In bed early tonight, so I am prepared for the morning! Later.

The mother seals are on the beach and the babies are at the edge of the water.
