Coyotes Cup Goal & Celebration

January 1, 2011 By murphhockey 3 Comments

Things didn’t turn out too well this year at the Coyotes Cup, but the Squirt A Phoenix Polar Bears played hard. We were in every game! We finished up with 2 ties/2 losses.

The next two weeks will be spent getting ready for the MLK Tournament in Arvada Colorado.

Here is a clip of my teammate Zack putting a nice pass on my stick, but I couldn’t connect on it. Then Hunter makes a great play & pass to set me up for a goal. Finally, got to use my NHL 11 goal celebration too! Sweet!!

NHL Alumni Game

December 22, 2010 By murphhockey 1 Comment

OK, so this was a really BIG moment for me! I just finished receiving my Give Back Award from Kristy, Stacy & Gina and they told me that I could drop the puck during the NHL Alumni vs Coaches game and sit on the bench with the NHL players.

Getting to see Coach Chaffee, Coach Whyte & Coach Kastelic in action was really cool. The NHL Alumni players still have a lot of game left in them and they were so awesome to hang out with. Tyson Nash is a great skater!

It is a night I will never forget!

The NHL Alumni Game vs the Arizona Hockey Clubs Coaches was great fun! Chance scored the first goal of the game and the Alumni had some FUN! It was great seeing our hockey coaches playing against former NHL players such as Tyson Nash, Steve Bozek, Ed Kastelic, Sean Whyte, Dave Ellett, Cale Hulse, Craig Conroy and goalie Sean Gauthier.

Operation Christmas Child

Gifts for Operation Christmas Child

I look at all that I have and I know how lucky I am!

My 5th grade teacher told my class about Operation Christmas Child. I grabbed my wallet and went shopping for books, puzzles, pencils, candy, cars and a stuffed animal, perfect for some little boys that I wish were my brothers!

It feels good to give some fun to those less fortunate than me. Join me in spreading Christmas cheer this holiday season. Hockey Players be thankful for all that you have!
