Clean Sweep in Arvada, CO!

This past weekend the Phoenix Polar Bear Squirt A team showed up BIG in Colorado for the MLK Tournament in Arvada, CO. Despite all the obstacles we faced, we were undefeated in 5 all games!

I missed my scheduled flight home because we made it to the Championship Game!! It was well worth it … the trophy was AWESOME and victory is sweet!

Thank you to the awesome lady at Southwest Airlines that got me on the next flight home to Phoenix, just because I was wearing a hat with hockey sticks on it! HOCKEY ROCKS!

Colorado Bound … Arvada MLK Hockey Tournament

January 13, 2010 By murphhockey 2 Comments

After hockey practice tonight; picked up some Pei Wei, the fortune in my cookie read: You will be traveling to distant lands for business purposes. It’s true, I am heading to Colorado, that is … kind of a distant land and my business is HOCKEY!

I will land in Denver around 10:30 am on Friday and head straight for the Ice Center at the Promenade for a team practice. Our first game is Saturday morning at 7:00am, shortly after there will be a team pin trading ceremony, and then I am heading to the Pepsi Center where the Colorado Avalanche take on the New Jersey Devils. Look for me on TV, I am going to wear my Phoenix Coyotes Jersey to the game!!! The Phoenix Polar Bears play two more games on Sunday and we will finish things up on Monday.
