Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
The Phoenix Polar Bear Squirt A team, donned PINK tape on their sticks yesterday to show their support for those facing Breast Cancer. I played my game yesterday for my cousin Posie, who was diagnosed this month and underwent surgery this past week. My first goal was dedicated to her!
Please visit my American Cancer Society Making Strides page and support me in the fight against Breast Cancer. Together, as a team … we can make a difference. Thank you!

I will be spending the Labor Day weekend in Scottsdale at the
Alltel Ice Den playing HOCKEY! I am really pumped up for this season with the Phoenix Polar Bears.
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!!
It was a great way to end the 2009-10 Squirt A season, by winning the State Championship Title!!
Murph & Coach Ed Kastelic
At the end of March, the Phoenix Polar Bears played the Jr. Coyotes in the Championship game of the Grand Canyon State Games and won 6-2. It was another amazing victory!
My Squirt A team finished the season undefeated in league games with a record of 19-0.
I had a great season with awesome teammates and an awesome Coach! Coach Ed Kastelic taught me a lot this year, and it was an honor to play for him.
It was a perfect season and I will never forget it!
While playing for the Phoenix Polar Bears this year, I got to know some of the Jr. A players.

I was at the game in March when they won the WSHL Thorne Cup against the Boulder Bison. We went on the ice to have our pictures taken with the team and the Cup.
My favorite player on the Polar Bears Jr. A team is the goalie Casey O’Connor. After the game, he said I was his #1 fan and he gave me one of his goalie sticks! I am also lucky to have bid on his Breast Cancer jersey and won it.
Casey and the Phoenix Polar Bear Jr. A players are great roll models and hockey players!
In February, I attend a Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Development Clinic at Jobing.com Arena. We took a tour of the Coyotes
Add New locker room and their incredible fitness facility.
The Coyotes locker room is so awesome. Across the hall; I saw where they get their skates sharpened, and Doan’s jerseys were hanging in a dry cleaning bag. The players sticks are lined up on a long wall and Upshall’s stick had a smiley face on it.
The Phoenix Coyotes Strength & Conditioning Coordinator Mike Bahn showed us some of the exercises he does with the Coyotes players. It was pretty cool that I got to be his partner. He gave us a good workout before going to the locker room to dress for the ice.
Included in the clinic was tickets to the Coyotes game the next night. This is a great hockey clinic.
