In February, I attend a Phoenix Coyotes Hockey Development Clinic at Jobing.com Arena. We took a tour of the CoyotesAdd 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.
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.
Totally enjoying the Coyotes vs Stars game with my dad! It is great to see Turco in the house, he is awesome!! Bryzgalov is totally being shot on and saving everything so far. Almost the end of the first period, and the Yotes are on a Power Play and looking to put a goal on the board!! Go Yotes!!
This game was totally amazing!! Going into OT with the score 0-0, and ending with a shootout winning goal by Turris! Coyotes win 1-0.
I have a big collection of McFarlane Toys Hockey figures, that I like to play with. I have all of the NHL players, some of my favorites are: Roenick, Crosby, Ovechkin and Luongo. Whenever McFarlane Toys puts out new players, I always get them. I have a Roenick player on the Flyers and the Kings, I just hope they make a San Jose Sharks Roenick for my collection.
As a surprise, my mom had my old table painted by an artist to resemble the Phoenix Coyotes Ice. It turned out AWESOME!
McFarlane Toys has a big selection of hockey figures, and they even have a store near the Jobing.com Arena. When I am not playing hockey, I am playing with my hockey players at my arena … in my room!
I have Jr. Coyotes practice really early on Saturday morning (YAWN). But when I finish, I am heading to Gilbert to check out the newest ice rink in the valley … Gilbert Polar Ice. They will be laying the ice this Thursday … how cool is that! The rink is on track to open with a party on September 13th. They will have some players from the Phoenix Coyotes there to celebrate the opening. I hope to see you there.
My Jr. Coyotes team got a chance to have power skating session with the Phoenix Coyotes Power Skating Coach Mark Ciaccio last week. My Mom took some footage so I could share it here. I am the player in the red jersey. At the end of class, my coach let us scrimmage against each other. We still look a little shaky, but we just formed our new team last month. We have a long season ahead of us. Regular practice starts in August.
Add New locker room and their incredible fitness facility.
