My first San Jose Sharks Home Game

We got to the rink really early, because I was so excited! My dad got me a mystery gift and when I opened it, it was a Jeremy Roenick signed puck! I am wearing his number … how lucky!

The HPPavilion Arena is so beautiful and you can see the BIG shark behind me. We went down and watched the Sharks warm up and I got to see JR up close. Our seats were front row behind Nabokov (Sharks Goalie), they were awesome!

They gave out Black Armour Jerseys, the new jersey is so cool. The Sharks pulled out a win 3-2 in OT, seeing that game was the highlight of the trip for me!

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.

Coyotes Hockey Game Table

I have a big collection of McFarlane Toys Hockey figures, that I like to play with. I have all of the NHL players, some of my favorites are: Roenick, Crosby, Ovechkin and Luongo.  Whenever McFarlane Toys puts out new players, I always get them.  I have a Roenick player on the Flyers and the Kings, I just hope they make a San Jose Sharks Roenick for my collection.

As a surprise, my mom had my old table painted by an artist to resemble the Phoenix Coyotes Ice. It turned out AWESOME!

McFarlane Toys has a big selection of hockey figures, and they even have a store near the Jobing.com Arena. When I am not playing hockey, I am playing with my hockey players at my arena … in my room!

Florida Panthers Blog

My Florida Panthers friend VANMURPH, gave me a shout out in the blog he writes for the Florida Panthers website.  Click the logo below to read the article about his trip to Phoenix and see my photo toward the bottom of the page. It was totally awesome to see the Florida Panthers in Phoenix, but even cooler being on a blog!

Murph and VanMurph from Florida

When I lived in Florida; I remember seeing VanMurph, a hockey fan at the Florida Panthers games ringing his cowbell!! I was so excited when I saw him in the stands at the Coyotes game last night in Phoenix. My dad yelled “Murph” and he came over to talk to us.

VanMurph (as he is know) has his own blog on the Panthers website.  He is so lucky to be able to follow the Panthers during home games and on the road when he is not working as a pilot.

Our tickets were awesome! They were right next to the Panthers tunnel and I got to see the players up close and hit their hands when they came on and off the ice. I made a sign for Villa Peltonen and their security guard gave it to him. It was so cool to see Olli Jokinen and Nathan Horton take a face off against one another; they were chatting and both had big smiles on their faces.

The game did not end too well for the Florida Panthers 4-1; but it was so awesome to see them in Phoenix last night.

JR for Halloween

My new San Jose Sharks jersey came in the mail last week; just in time for me to be Jeremy Roenick for Halloween! The jersey, my hockey gear and some hair gel and I was all set for a night of collecting candy.

I got a lot of compliments on my hair! There are a lot of Roenick fans in my neighborhood, and they gave me extra candy for my costume. It was fun being JR for a night!

I will be wearing my jersey again in November, when I attend a Shark’s game in San Jose.  I am looking forward to seeing Jeremy do his thing on the ice!
