Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
My Florida Panthers friend VANMURPH, gave me a shout out in the blog he writes for the Florida Panthers website. Click the logo below to read the article about his trip to Phoenix and see my photo toward the bottom of the page. It was totally awesome to see the Florida Panthers in Phoenix, but even cooler being on a blog!
When I lived in Florida; I remember seeing VanMurph, a hockey fan at the Florida Panthers games ringing his cowbell!! I was so excited when I saw him in the stands at the Coyotes game last night in Phoenix. My dad yelled “Murph” and he came over to talk to us.
VanMurph (as he is know) has his own blog on the Panthers website. He is so lucky to be able to follow the Panthers during home games and on the road when he is not working as a pilot.
Our tickets were awesome! They were right next to the Panthers tunnel and I got to see the players up close and hit their hands when they came on and off the ice. I made a sign for Villa Peltonen and their security guard gave it to him. It was so cool to see Olli Jokinen and Nathan Horton take a face off against one another; they were chatting and both had big smiles on their faces.
The game did not end too well for the Florida Panthers 4-1; but it was so awesome to see them in Phoenix last night.
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!
