Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion – Ice Hockey
We did it all yesterday! Two hours of ice time, some soccer and
a game of football. The weather here was really nice today. I have met so many new hockey friends. I have been hanging out with a kid from the Jr. Sharks that I played against in a hockey tournament in January this year.
I had my last day of practices before heading to Calgary to pick up my mom & sisters.
There are 11 players from Arizona representing Team Northwest. We have two hours of ice time each day. The practices are great. My Coach Steve Johnson, is the Head Coach for the Fargo Force (USHL), and he played for the UND Fighting Sioux (WCHA).
We had team pictures, with the Canadian Rockies behind us.
The weather has changed today, it was cold and raining. The weather canceled our hike up Johnston Canyon for today, but we have two more days here to try. This afternoon, it got colder, darker and started snowing a bit. YEAH!
Having a great time, wish you were here! Murph
My first time through Customs was so cool, I got a stamp in my passport book with Calgary on it. The agent was talking to me about playing hockey and said “good luck in the tournament.”
It took about an hour to get from Calgary to Canmore. The mountains still have snow on the peaks. WOW! It is amazing. We went this afternoon to the Canmore Recreational Center to get our uniforms and 
I was able to get on the ice for a while and skate. The TNW jacket is really awesome!
I am off now to bed, long day. Very Exciting. My first team practice is tomorrow afternoon. I am looking forward to meeting my Coaches and the rest of my teammates. GO TNW!
I am back at it! Wearing my Yotes beanie and shooting pucks daily, I’m getting ready for my first trip to Canada! When I get really good at knocking the targets off, I move them around to make it harder. I put about 150 pucks in the net today.
Playing in the Stampede Challenge is the highlight of my summer, and I am taking my family with me!
I spent some time on Monday, working with my old Coach (Dominic) and he taught me so many awesome moves. He totally ROCKS … he’s not so bad at NHL09 either:)
I love being back on my roller blades and shooting pucks, my neighbor has been playing goalie for me (Thanks Ethan)!
