Polar Bears Equipment Fitting

Here we go again! I went to the rink today to order my gear for the upcoming Polar Bears Season. Awesome new Reebok warm ups. The shell that I put over my hockey pants will have the Polar Bears logo and my number on it, that is so cool!

I can’t wait to get my equipment and start the new season! I have already started breaking in my new X30 Bauer skates and Bauer Vapor X15 hockey stick. Go Polar Bears!

Colorado Bound … Arvada MLK Hockey Tournament

After hockey practice tonight; picked up some Pei Wei, the fortune in my cookie read: You will be traveling to distant lands for business purposes. It’s true, I am heading to Colorado, that is … kind of a distant land and my business is HOCKEY!

I will land in Denver around 10:30 am on Friday and head straight for the Ice Center at the Promenade for a team practice. Our first game is Saturday morning at 7:00am, shortly after there will be a team pin trading ceremony, and then I am heading to the Pepsi Center where the Colorado Avalanche take on the New Jersey Devils. Look for me on TV, I am going to wear my Phoenix Coyotes Jersey to the game!!! The Phoenix Polar Bears play two more games on Sunday and we will finish things up on Monday.

The Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A team is looking to bring home the banner from the MLK Hockey Tournament in Arvada, CO.

Ice & Dryland Practice

We did it all yesterday! Two hours of ice time, some soccer and a game of football. The weather here was really nice today. I have met so many new hockey friends. I have been hanging out with a kid from the Jr. Sharks that I played against in a hockey tournament in January this year.

I had my last day of practices before heading to Calgary to pick up my mom & sisters.

Murph has landed in San Jose

I just touched down in San Jose, CA. It was a great plane ride! I have my gear and I am just waiting on the rental car with my dad. I am so excited! We are planning to get some lunch and walk around downtown and then get ready for the Sharks game tonight.

From the Drop, to the Stop, Do Not Quit!

murphhockey — Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:32:49 +0000

I watch my In the Crease DVD, almost every day!

My favorite part is when the Coach Mike Lewis is motivating the California Wave players in the locker room. “From the drop, to the stop, do not quit! Get it in your hearts, get it in your minds, from this day forward guys we roll!”

I played Sunday’s game at Polar Ice Gilbert, against the Tucson Stampede Squirt B team with this quote stuck in my head. It worked out really well for me. I had a total of 4 points with 2 goals and 2 assists. One of our centers was sick and I played every other shift; I was really in the game, I set up plays, made passes and had a handful of shots on goal. I was motivated!!

My Coach told us after that game that it was the first time in the Sonoran Youth Hockey League that a Mite Team had beaten a Squirt Team. Pretty Impressive for a bunch of Mite A Players. The final score was 7-4.

Some Highlights from the game:

Hockey Weekend

murphhockey — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 19:47:20 +0000

I am looking forward to playing some good hockey this weekend. The Jr. Coyotes play our first Squirt B games this weekend. We have practiced a lot and have worked hard together, but now we get to play competitive hockey. I am very excited because one of the games is at the new Gilbert Rink. Saturday my game against Peoria starts at 8:20 a.m., so I have to wake up early to be in Scottsdale on time for the game at the Ice Den. Sunday’s game is at 10:10 a.m. at Polar Ice in Gilbert, which is a quick ride from my house.

I have worked hard this week, and have one last private lesson today to prepare for my weekend! If you get a chance, come and see me play.
