Another Travel Hockey Season Comes to and End!

My travel season as a Squirt Player has come to an end.  I am now officially a Pee Wee Player!

The Squirt A Phoenix Polar Bears

I had an amazing season and made some life-time friendships.  On April 4th, the Arizona Hockey Union held their annual End-of-Season Awards Ceremony.  Being named the MVP for my team was an honor!  I was so excited to see a few of my friends that played travel for the first time this season, were also awarded for their hard work and dedication to hockey!

Murph as a Mite

Shocking was the announcement that next season there will be NO more Phoenix Polar Bears and NO more Arizona Heat!  They will unite under the black and purple jersey and become one, known as the Arizona Hockey Union!

Thank you Phoenix Polar Bears for great memories, going all the back to my first travel season as a Mite!  It was a jersey I respected every time I put it on.

Dear Goldwater Institute, I Just Had the Best Night of my Life!

Dear Goldwater Institute Staff:

Phoenix Coyotes Game

Last night was the best night of my life! Why you ask? Because, I attended another Phoenix Coyotes game. I love hockey, hockey is my passion, heck, hockey is my life. I cannot imagine my life without MY local hockey team. The Phoenix Coyotes sponsored my career 7 years ago in Kids First Hockey, they provided me with full gear, so that I along with hundreds of other kids could try the sport. I was hooked because of the Phoenix Coyotes generosity. The Phoenix Coyotes are extremely generous, and are always giving back to the community that supports them!

I’m only 10 and I know if I beg my parents enough, I can usually get them to buy me that new hockey stick I want so badly. SO … I am begging you here; because I want he Phoenix Coyotes to say in Arizona, way more than any new, awesome hockey stick. 

The Boys with Derek Morris

PLEASE find a way … any way to allow the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to go through! The Phoenix Coyotes are part of our hockey family, part of our community and we should reachout and help them. PLEASE, please, Please!

Please, don’t let this season be the last time I have the “best night of my life” … please find a way to HELP the Phoenix Coyotes stay in Glendale! Please:) with a smiley face attached!

Sincerely, Patrick W. Murphy (Murph #27)

Villanova Ice Cats Hockey Game Highlights

Earlier this month when the Villanova Ice Hockey Team played the ASU Sun Devils, they gave me a jersey and let me help out.  I put the sticks on the bench, helped fill their water bottles and cheered them on during the game.   The Ice Cats have some really awesome hockey players.  I was born in PA right near Villanova University.  My Grandpere played football and graduated from that college, so I grew up singing “V” for Villanova!

The score didn’t end very well for the Villanova Ice Cats, but I was thankful for the opportunity to meet them!

Community Service for Polar Bears

The Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A team will be volunteering at Feed My Starving Children in Tempe tonight. This weekend FMSC will pack it’s 2millionth meal, but if they don’t receive additional funding, they will close.  See East Valley Tribune article.

If you live in Arizona or near one of their other locations, please do your part to help.

Counting Down to Arvada!

I can’t wait for Thursday!  Looking forward to seeing Colorado again, the Arvada MLK Squirt tourney is one of the best tournaments that I have traveled to!  We are Polar Bear strong!!
