My First IHAAZ Roller Hockey Tournament in Lake Havasu #IHAAZ

I just participated in my first IHAAZ roller hockey tournament in Lake Havasu, this past weekend. The Wolf Pack is made up of some members from my Jr. Coyotes ice hockey team.  We were successful in winning our first tournament.  Our goalie Taz was outstanding allowing only one goal in three games!  Our next matchup is scheduled for the weekend of February 9 & 10, 2013 in Yuma, AZ.Wolf Pack Roller Hockey

Arizona Hockey Clubs Thanksgiving Tournament

Two of my favorite things ~ Hockey & Pumpkin Pie!

The Arizona Hockey Clubs Thanksgiving Shootout schedule is out!  Next weekend my Jr. Coyotes 2000 team will be playing in the PeeWee Elite Division of the Thanksgiving Tournament.  It is always  a fun tourney and we are playing local competition this year.  The DYHA Firebirds 00′s, the Union White Knights and three of the Jr. Coyotes teams are participating.  With no NHL games to watch, why not come out to Polar Ice Gilbert and support youth hockey.  Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!

Vegas CAN/AM Hockey Tourney Game Winning Goal

A moment I shall never forget during the CAN/AM Vegas Peewee Championship Game, Jr. Coyotes vs the Hyland Hills Jaguars, from Colorado.  The game ended in a 1-1 tie and we were heading to OT.  We played 4 on 4, then 3 on 3 in OT and were still tied.  In the third OT and playing 2 on 2, I got a sick pass from my teammate for a break away.  Game over!  It was a team effort and our goalie played awesome.  He kept us in the game, with big saves and came up big during a penalty shot.  Jr. Coyotes were Gold Medal Winners in Vegas!!  The CAN/AM Tourney was awesome.
