Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
I get most of my gear from BTM in Chandler & Gilbert, but today I went to Scottsdale for the opening of the Super Store on Shea Blvd. It is really BIG and the guys at the store were great!
This store has an awesome selection of pads, sticks, skates and Goalie gear. Ryan helped me put on some new Warrior Swagger pads, and he also sized my new stick for me.
The Goalie pads are on my Xmas list!, along with some lessons!
I was so excited when I found out the Phoenix Coyotes Scottie Upshall and Matthew Lombardi
were coming to Polar Ice Chandler to meet fans. Unfortunately; they were going to be there while I was on the ice for travel practice. My mom waited in line and got my Coyotes jersey signed, but I really wanted to meet both of them.
After practice my teammates and I were getting changed when the locker room door opened and Lombardi walked it. Matthew heard that we didn’t get to see the players because we were on the ice, so he came to in to take photos with us. It was so awesome! My teammates were so excited and we will NEVER forget it! Lombardi ROCKS on the ice and off!!
I had a full weekend of hockey. I played in four games in two days for the Polar Bears. We played teams from Anaheim, Vancouver BC and San Diego. Our last game today was against the Vancouver Winterhawks. We played the Winterhawks tough, through the second period.
In the third we let up a couple of goals and eventually lost 5-2. Tough weekend!!
Our next tournament will be in Scottsdale over Christmas Break. Until then its practice! practice! practice! and a few Sonora League games and scrimmages to play in the next few weeks.
Yesterday, my teammates Logan, Trent and I had lunch and watched a tournament hockey game at Jobing.com Arena. Some of the teams were lucky to play on the Coyotes ice before they took on the Dallas Stars last night (and WON)!!
I am going to sleep in tomorrow, wish I was playing hockey!

I am looking forward to opening night. If you still need tickets, here is a great deal from the Phoenix Coyotes!
The offer is only good through Thursday at 9am!
This long hockey weekend was AWESOME!! The Phoenix Polar Bears did a great job bringing home the banner in the Labor Day Tournament!
We were in second place going into the playoffs. It was pretty cool that we played against my old teammates from the Jr. Coyotes. I had the first goal of the game; it was a rebound goal, off of a nice shot from my teammate Mark.
I’m not sure I agree with the tripping penalty I got in that game! Sorry Robby!!
That win gave us a spot in the Championship game on Monday vs the Jr. Coyotes 99 team. We were down 2-0, and came back to win the game 4-2!
It was an incredible victory. I could hear the Polar Bear fans counting down the clock and we cleared the bench and headed for our goalie! SWEET! We got trophies and skated around the rink with the banner. What a great way to start the season!!
