Bauer Vapor RX:05 Roller Blades

I went to the Behind the Mask Superstore, in Scottsdale yesterday to get my birthday present, a new pair of Bauer Vapor RX:05 Roller-Blades.

While I was at BTM, I looked up at the team jersey’s hanging in the rafters and to my surprise … there was a Polar Bears jersey “Murphy 27″ along with my friend’s jersey “Barry 9″. Not sure how it got there, but I was honored to see a replica Murphy jersey hanging up there. I will miss that Polar Bears logo!

At Behind the Mask they are always helpful and they know HOCKEY! If you don’t live near Behind the Mask, you can find the Vapor RX:05′s at Amazon for about the same price BTM sells the RX:05′s for.

Dear Goldwater Institute, I Just Had the Best Night of my Life!

March 30, 2011 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

Dear Goldwater Institute Staff:

Phoenix Coyotes Game

Last night was the best night of my life! Why you ask? Because, I attended another Phoenix Coyotes game. I love hockey, hockey is my passion, heck, hockey is my life. I cannot imagine my life without MY local hockey team. The Phoenix Coyotes sponsored my career 7 years ago in Kids First Hockey, they provided me with full gear, so that I along with hundreds of other kids could try the sport. I was hooked because of the Phoenix Coyotes generosity. The Phoenix Coyotes are extremely generous, and are always giving back to the community that supports them!

I’m only 10 and I know if I beg my parents enough, I can usually get them to buy me that new hockey stick I want so badly. SO … I am begging you here; because I want he Phoenix Coyotes to say in Arizona, way more than any new, awesome hockey stick.

The Boys with Derek Morris

PLEASE find a way … any way to allow the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to go through! The Phoenix Coyotes are part of our hockey family, part of our community and we should reachout and help them. PLEASE, please, Please!

Please, don’t let this season be the last time I have the “best night of my life” … please find a way to HELP the Phoenix Coyotes stay in Glendale! Please:) with a smiley face attached!

Sincerely, Patrick W. Murphy (Murph #27)

Villanova Ice Cats Hockey Game Highlights

February 26, 2011 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

Earlier this month when the Villanova Ice Hockey Team played the ASU Sun Devils, they gave me a jersey and let me help out. I put the sticks on the bench, helped fill their water bottles and cheered them on during the game. The Ice Cats have some really awesome hockey players. I was born in PA right near Villanova University. My Grandpere played football and graduated from that college, so I grew up singing “V” for Villanova!

The score didn’t end very well for the Villanova Ice Cats, but I was thankful for the opportunity to meet them!

First up, the Polar Bears take on the Canyon State Cougars on Saturday (9/4) at 3:30 pm, the complete schedule is here.

We got our new PB gear last night and it is pretty sweet!

Come out to the Ice Den this weekend and support youth hockey in the Valley, while getting a hockey fix before the NHL season starts! Go Polar Bears!!

New Behind the Mask in Scottsdale

Swagger Goalie Pads

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!
