It was good to spend a couple of days working with Holly at Kids First Hockey at the Gilbert Polar Ice. Hockey First is run by the Phoenix Coyotes to introduce new players to the best game in the world, HOCKEY!
Hockey Weekend
October 24, 2008 By 1 Comment
I am looking forward to playing some good hockey this weekend. The Jr. Coyotes 
play our first Squirt B games this weekend. We have practiced a lot and have worked hard together, but now we get to play competitive hockey. I am very excited because one of the games is at the new Gilbert Rink. Saturday my game against Peoria starts at 8:20 a.m., so I have to wake up early to be in Scottsdale on time for the game at the Ice Den. Sunday’s game is at 10:10 a.m. at Polar Ice in Gilbert, which is a quick ride from my house.
I have worked hard this week, and have one last private lesson today to prepare for my weekend! If you get a chance, come and see me play.
Murph hits the Ice at Polar Ice in Gilbert

Tonight, some of my hockey friends and I were the first to hit the ice at the opening of Polar Ice in Gilbert. It was so awesome, this rink is so big and NEW and no puck marks on the glass.
The General Manager was so nice at the Gilbert Rink. He said it was OK for us to use the other sheet of ice because the ice skaters were still performing. We were so excited, we jumped the boards and started skating. This rink is so close to my house, I can do some free skate and power skating here.

I have Jr. Coyotes practice really early on Saturday morning (YAWN). But when I finish, I am heading to Gilbert to check out the newest ice rink in the valley … Gilbert Polar Ice. They will be laying the ice this Thursday … how cool is that! The rink is on track to open with a party on September 13th. They will have some players from the Phoenix Coyotes there to celebrate the opening. I hope to see you there.

Saints Game August 2008
August 5, 2008 By Leave a Comment
We played the Rampage again!! This time … we had a full roster, and it made all the difference. Our goalie was amazing in this game, they only got two past him. When we scored first, I thought for sure we would win this one. We ended up losing 2-1 (I got the assist), but at no point did we ever give up. Even with 40 seconds left in the game, and I hit the ice, I thought for sure we could have at least tied the game … no such luck!
We may be facing them again in the championship game in a few weeks and I feel we may actually be able to take them. That would be the best game of the season!
I can’t believe this season is almost over, I had such a blast on the Saints team and have made a lot of new friends. Most of all, I will miss my Coach … he is really good and I love going to his practices. Mrs. Coach (I made up the name) is really cool, she always screams for us!
Go Saints! Win the Championship!
