I Got to Meet NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman

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.  10735_1248858740184_1190928891_30772938_4847801_n 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!

This was a big moment for me! I met the NHL Deputy Commissioner at the Alltel Ice Den on Monday night. After interviewing with the news stations (Fanster.com has the full interview), he stopped to thank the Coyotes FANS and to pose for a picture with me. My mom has already printed this picture and framed it in my room.

One day, I will meet with the Commissioner again … when I am in the NHL! Murph #27

Thank you Save The Coyotes Coalition, for letting me know Mr. Daly was coming!
