PHX Polar Bears Making Strides Walk

By murphhockey | November 9, 2009

Saturday was an amazing morning in Tempe, AZ! I joined some of my teammates from the Phoenix Polar Bears and walked 3.26 miles to support the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, there was almost 10,000 walkers!

With the support of my family & friends, I was able to raise $230 for the cause! At the very end of the event, I met a Breast Cancer Survivor and she praised us and thanked us for walking.

The Jr. A players were waiting and cheering us on at the finish line. The Phoenix Polar Bear Jr. A Team will be wearing Limited Edition Pink Jersey’s for 12 hockey games. They are holding an AUCTION, so you can purchase the PINK jersey of your favorite Jr. A player with ALL proceeds going to the American Cancer Society, the auction ends December 5th. Go Polar Bears!!

Incredible Roller Hockey Rink

By murphhockey | October 24, 2009

WOW! This place is awesome!! The Barney family has been farming for years in Queen Creek, Arizona. They have created a sports complex to carry on the Barney name.

The Barney Family Sports Complex’s grand opening was in May 2009, they offer Soccer, Basketball, Football, Dodgeball, Volleyball and Roller Hockey. After my team (Polar Bear Squirt A) ice hockey practice this morning at Polar Ice, Chandler, a few of us switched from skates to roller blades and spent 2 hours playing roller hockey. It was so much fun!

My Dad caught highlights with his iPhone. Check out the video on YouTube.

PS. Before you enter the rink … be sure to rub the watermelon out front … rumor has it brings good luck!

Superman Dive Draws a Penalty!

By murphhockey | October 21, 2009

Physical! A very physical scrimmage on Sunday morning at the Alltel Ice Den. Refs weren’t calling to many penalties, but the Jr. Coyotes 99’s goalie reached out and put his stick between my skates as I was going for the puck. The ref was watching that time! Finally, a power play for the Bears!

The Jr. Coyotes AA shut us down. This is the same team we beat in the Labor Day Tournament?? We need to do better this coming weekend. It was good to scrimmage and a great practice to get us ready for our League game Sunday morning in Chandler.
