Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
What a great tournament in Arvada! The teams we played were physical and the refs rarely stopped the play for penalties. Although our record was 0-2-2, Coach Goldberg said “we came home a better hockey team.”
Playing pond hockey with my team and Coach Nietz & Goldberg was the highlight for me!
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!!
because that means a HOCKEY tourney! If you get a chance to come and watch the Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A team will be playing in the Coyotes Cup at the Alltel Ice Den in Scottsdale. First game is Monday morning at 8:30 am. Full schedule HERE! I added a Championship WIN to my Christmas list!
Merry Christmas and Happy Hockey Holidays!
Merry Christmas 2010
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!

I am really looking forward to playing hockey and eating some turkey (on and off the ice)!
This past Saturday, I participated in the Making Strides Breast Cancer 5K Walk in Tempe, AZ. I designed a pink tie-died t-shirt to wear to the event. It will be my 5th year walking for the cause. I had a cousin 
diagnosed this year with Breast Cancer, so walking it this time meant a lot to me.
Then on Sunday, my Phoenix Polar Bears team wore green bandanas and walked a 5K at the Phoenix Zoo, to support the Lymphoma Foundation. One of our teammates grandmother died of this disease. Our team raised $340 to support this important cause.
Together, we can make a difference!
