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!

Working out with Phoenix Coyotes Mike Bahn

In February, I attend a Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Development Clinic at Jobing.com Arena. We took a tour of the CoyotesMurph working out with the Phoenix Coyotes TrainerAdd 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.Upshall's Hockey Stick :)

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.

Hockey Rocks!
