The Coyotes are Back on the ICE!

By murphhockey | October 12, 2009

It was friends, food, fun and HOCKEY Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena. Before the game, my family attended a Coyotes tailgating party. I played a little hockey with some Coyotes fans, everyone was so pumped up for the doors to open and get inside. I got to meet Doug Moss, he was so excited about Opening Night.

I won a signed Shane Doan hockey puck (on his 33rd birthday), from HockeyBuzz for the sign I made … AWESOME! It was really cool seeing everyone wearing WHITE. Yandle I saw so many Roenick #97 Coyotes Jerseys.

I finally saw a NHL player with an Easton S19 Hockey Stick up close, when Yandle went to the penalty box. Wow, I want one!

I really wanted a Coyotes Win, but loosing the game did not take away from all the excitement I felt about the COYOTES being back on the ice in Glendale, AZ and going to my first WhiteOut Hockey game.

My Coach said it best after we lost a game like that “an eye opener … moving forward.”

Polar Bears Back on the Ice Today!

By murphhockey | September 13, 2009

We hit the ice today for a scrimmage against the DYHA Squirt AA team. I love playing those guys. I have lots of friends on the DYHA team and I have worked with Coaches Alex Hicks and John Kosobud over the summer. Totally tough competition! We tied the first time we played them a few weeks ago. Today we held them tight in the first period, down by 2. We lost it in the end 7-2.

Bad news is that we lost, good news is … we still have a few weeks before the official start of our season, and time to improve!

Back to work …

I Got to Meet NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman

By murphhockey | September 12, 2009

Yesterday was really cool. Going to the Court House instead of school. I really wanted to go and see what was going on with the Phoenix Coyotes. One of the Coyotes fans took me into the Court Room to meet the NHL Commissioner Mr. Gary Bettman. I got to see Mr. Bettman in action on the stand. The Judge didn’t make any decision today, so I was bummed! I was hoping to hear him say … they are staying in Arizona!

The NHL had lunch at the same place we ate lunch with Save the Coyotes Heather. Their Attorney came over to our table and thanked us for coming and supporting the team. Another Attorney gave us some desserts from their table. They were so awesome!!

I ran into Deputy Commissioner Daly outside the restaurant. He remembered meeting me over the summer at the Alltel Ice Den Coyotes Rally.

The Judge was so cool, I think being an NHL Attorney would be a great job too!
