Go Coyotes!
I was able to attend the Phoenix Coyotes Rookie Tournament game this afternoon at Jobing.com Arena. I met two of my hockey friends there. We didn’t need tickets, because it was free to the public. So, we picked seats next to the Phoenix Coyotes Penalty Box and it was awesome. We got to see so many players in the penalty box!
The Rookies skated so hard and there was so much checking into the boards in front of us. I had my ice cream sitting on the edge of the glass and it almost went flying. It was fun to watch intense hockey up close, we were really in the action.
I saw Kyle Turris, Kevin Porter and Jared Staal! Turris is a leader on the ice, he is a great Center. The Goalie #31 Joel Gistedt was awesome, he had 32 great saves and ended the game with a shutout. Wayne Gretzky and Ulf Samuelsson were coaching on the bench. I saw Derek Morris and Darren Pang watching the game in the stands.
A free hockey game is the best way to spend the afternoon!
I had a Great Day today!
Since the Florida Panthers practice at the same rink as my former Jr. Panthers team, I use to see Olli Jokinen a lot last year. Olli is definitely one of my favorite players.
Today my Mom and I got to welcome Olli to Phoenix! I got to see Olli as a Phoenix COYOTE! It was such a great moment. He is so awesome!!
I waited in line for 3 hours at Jobing.com Arena, during a “Fans Open House”. I was one of 2,513 fans waiting to see Peter Mueller, Shane Doan and Olli Jokinen. I got their autographs and had my picture taken with them. I had Olli sign a puck that he gave me during a Panther practice at Incredible Ice last year.
I also got to meet Darren Pang, he is part of the Coyotes broadcasting staff and former NHL player (Chicago Blackhawks) while I was standing in line. He interviewed my mom and I … it was so cool having the BIG camera on us!
I can’t wait for the puck to drop and see Olli hit the ice!
