When I lived in Florida; I remember seeing VanMurph, a hockey fan at the Florida Panthers games ringing his cowbell!! I was so excited when I saw him in the stands at the Coyotes game last night in Phoenix. My dad yelled “Murph” and he came over to talk to us.
VanMurph (as he is know) has his own blog on the Panthers website. He is so lucky to be able to follow the Panthers during home games and on the road when he is not working as a pilot.
Our tickets were awesome! They were right next to the Panthers tunnel and I got to see the players up close and hit their hands when they came on and off the ice. I made a sign for Villa Peltonen and their security guard gave it to him. It was so cool to see Olli Jokinen and Nathan Horton take a face off against one another; they were chatting and both had big smiles on their faces.
The game did not end too well for the Florida Panthers 4-1; but it was so awesome to see them in Phoenix last night.
