Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
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.
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.
My family went to see the Phoenix Coyotes take on the San Jose Sharks in a preseason game. 
With the Sharks in town, I had to see Roenick play! We stayed on the sharks end while they were warming up. I was at the glass, and Jeremy Roenick came over to me and hit the glass with his stick! I was so excited. That was the highlight of the night for me.
I also got to see Olli Jokinen in a Coyotes uniform for the first time. He played great. Peter Mueller was on fire tonight, his line was really working well together and he got a hat-trick! Some of my hockey friends were at the game and I also saw some PF Chang’s players I knew. Coyotes win 5-1!
I got to meet Peter Mueller at Jobing.com Arena last month, he’s really cool!
I had a Great Day today!
Since the Florida Panthers practice at the same rink as my former Jr. Panthers team, I use to see Olli Jokinen a lot last year. Olli is definitely one of my favorite players.
Today my Mom and I got to welcome Olli to Phoenix! I got to see Olli as a Phoenix COYOTE! It was such a great moment. He is so awesome!!
I waited in line for 3 hours at Jobing.com Arena, during a “Fans Open House”. I was one of 2,513 fans waiting to see Peter Mueller, Shane Doan and Olli Jokinen. I got their autographs and had my picture taken with them. I had Olli sign a puck that he gave me during a Panther practice at Incredible Ice last year.
I also got to meet Darren Pang, he is part of the Coyotes broadcasting staff and former NHL player (Chicago Blackhawks) while I was standing in line. He interviewed my mom and I … it was so cool having the BIG camera on us!
I can’t wait for the puck to drop and see Olli hit the ice!
I check out www.NHL.com usually every day. With all the exciting things happening (Drafts, Trades and Free Agents Signings). I cannot wait for the season to begin. I am also looking forward to seeing which NHL east coast teams will make it to Phoenix. I am keeping my fingers crossed for some of my favorites!
It is so much easier watching and attending games on the west coast. When I lived in Florida this past year, I missed watching a lot of hockey games because they began right around bedtime! If I was lucky enough to attend a game, it was over way past bedtime!
I think the Coyotes have made some good changes, especially the addition of Olli Jokinen. I look forward to seeing his first game in Phoenix and watching him work his magic with the team. The Coyotes have a lot of leaders and are on track for a BIG year. Coach Gretzky is every kids HERO! I wish the team well in 2008-09!
