Jeremy Roenick Retires

August 6, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

I will never forget coming home from school today and logging onto RoenickLife.com and watching Jeremy Roenick speak about his retirement from the NHL after 20 seasons. He said it’s not a sad day … but to me it is. I will not get to watch him play this season. I can’t imagine that, I have watched him play since I was three.

I thank JR for being a friend and an awesome role model. I will continue to wear his number and dream big. I want to be like Jeremy Roenick when I grow up!

Good luck in the future!

The COYOTES are staying in Glendale, AZ! That is the best news ever!! Thank you Judge Baum for that great decision. I am looking forward to celebrating with the Coyotes Fans. I do feel bad for the Canadian fans, that hoped to get a team in Hamilton. Having your own NHL team is the best feeling in the world. Hockey RULES and so do YOTES fans!!

Murph’s Sporting His Sharks Helmet

April 17, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

How can this be? I am soooooo bummed over the Shark’s loss last night. Painful!! The Sharks had 35 shots on goal to the Ducks 17?? We just could not find an opening and how many times did the puck hit the crossbar?? Painful!!

I love my new Sharks goalie Helmet, it was a gift from my parents because the Sharks are in the Playoffs! I was Nabby in goal during the intermission breaks. The helmet ROCKS!

Until Sunday when the Sharks take on the Ducks for game 2. Murph #27

I Dream of Watching JR Lift the Cup

Roenick hopes Cup is career’s exclamation point

Tuesday, 04.14.2009 / 12:26 PM / 2009 Playoffs Conference Quarterfinals

By Dan Rosen - NHL.com Staff Writer

Jeremy Roenick was eating dinner with family and friends in an upscale Scottsdale restaurant on June 9, 2001. He vividly remembers the date, if not the meal, because that same night, roughly 850 miles away in Denver, Ray Bourque was playing for his first and only Stanley Cup.

So, if you were in Scottsdale that night, the guy you saw running back and forth between that swanky restaurant and the local bar three blocks away was good old J.R.

“The closest TV was three blocks from the restaurant,” Roenick told NHL.com. “I got up three different times and ran three blocks to see where it was in the game to make sure I got to see Ray Bourque raise the Stanley Cup. I specifically remember running three blocks, leaving my family and friends, to watch him do that.”

If Roenick gets his wish now, someone will be running to watch him raise the Cup for the first time ever this coming June. Read The Rest of the Article Here
