Another Travel Hockey Season Comes to and End!

April 9, 2011 By Leave a Comment

My travel season as a Squirt Player has come to an end.  I am now officially a Pee Wee Player!

The Squirt A Phoenix Polar Bears

I had an amazing season and made some life-time friendships.  On April 4th, the Arizona Hockey Union held their annual End-of-Season Awards Ceremony.  Being named the MVP for my team was an honor!  I was so excited to see a few of my friends that played travel for the first time this season, were also awarded for their hard work and dedication to hockey!

Murph as a Mite

Shocking was the announcement that next season there will be NO more Phoenix Polar Bears and NO more Arizona Heat!  They will unite under the black and purple jersey and become one, known as the Arizona Hockey Union!

Thank you Phoenix Polar Bears for great memories, going all the back to my first travel season as a Mite!  It was a jersey I respected every time I put it on.

NHL Alumni Game

OK, so this was a really BIG moment for me!  I just finished receiving my Give Back Award from Kristy, Stacy & Gina and they told me that I could drop the puck during the NHL Alumni vs Coaches game and sit on the bench with the NHL players.

NHL Alumni face off vs AZ Hockey Clubs Coaches

Getting to see Coach Chaffee, Coach Whyte & Coach Kastelic in action was really cool.  The NHL Alumni players still have a lot of game left in them and they were so awesome to hang out with.  Tyson Nash is a great skater!

It is a night I will never forget!

Polar Ice Gilbert Location Opening Soon

July 19, 2008 By Leave a Comment

I was very excited to hear the news that the Polar Ice – Gilbert Rink will be opening August 29, 2008.  I will be there when the doors open!  It will be great to have a rink so close to where I live.  I hope that this location will also have power skating and hockey camps, it would be nice not to have to travel far for additional instruction.  The Gilbert Rink is currently in the process of fielding Travel B Teams for the Arizona Heat, click the link for details:  http://www.azheathockey.com/.

People are shocked when I tell them I am from Arizona and play ice hockey.  With the many rinks we have in the state … hockey in the desert should not be kept a secret!
