Polar Bear Squirt A Pre-Season Starts Today!

I hit the ice with my new team mates today.  I am the only returning player to the Polar Bears Squirt A Team. Most of last year’s players moved up to Pee Wee.

This year I am playing for Coach Nietzel and Coach Goldberg.  We are playing the Jr. Coyotes at 3:40 at Chandler Polar Ice. Tomorrow we are scrimmaging DYHA at the Oceanside Rink.  That game starts at 11:15 AM.

Our season starts with the Labor Day Tournament here in Phoenix.  All of my games for the season opener will be played at the Ice Den in Scottsdale.

Here we go!

New Behind the Mask in Scottsdale

I get most of my gear from BTM in Chandler & Gilbert, but today I went to Scottsdale for the opening of the Super Store on Shea Blvd. It is really BIG and the guys at the store were great!

This store has an awesome selection of pads, sticks, skates and Goalie gear. Ryan helped me put on some new Warrior Swagger pads, and he also sized my new stick for me.

The Goalie pads are on my Xmas list!, along with some lessons!

First House PeeWee Game

Coach Dom let me play up in House PeeWee this week.  It was a lot of fun.  Thanks Mom for the video.

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!

Grand Canyon State Games Champions!

It was a great way to end the 2009-10 Squirt A season, by winning the State Championship Title!!

Murph & Coach Ed Kastelic

At the end of March, the Phoenix Polar Bears played the Jr. Coyotes in the Championship game of the Grand Canyon State Games and won 6-2.  It was another amazing victory!

My Squirt A team finished the season undefeated in league games with a record of 19-0.

I had a great season with awesome teammates and an awesome Coach!  Coach Ed Kastelic taught me a lot this year, and it was an honor to play for him.

It was a perfect season and I will never forget it!
