Dusty Collins and Jr. Coyotes
The Jr. Coyotes blue line and one of our defense players attended a private hockey lesson earlier today with Dusty Collins at Oceanside Ice Arena. Dusty is the only native-Arizonan to be drafted into the National Hockey League. Dusty played for the Phoenix Coyotes (NHL) AA affiliate, The Arizona Sun Dogs in the Central Hockey League.
It was a great practice and he is so nice. He gave us a really good work out, and had great drills. We will be working with Dusty once a week until the end of September when he leaves for the San Antonio Rampage. Good Luck Dusty!!
It’s Official …
My Mite A Travel Hockey season is under way! The team held it’s first official practice last night at the Alltel Ice Den in Scottsdale. I was excited to see all of my teammates in the locker room. Everyone was so pumped up. I was really excited to run drills with my new line, we work really good together!
I tried out my new hockey gear. I wasn’t sure if the new CCM Vector 04 breezers (hockey pants) would change my skating, but they were great. I love my new Bauer Vapor XVI Gloves. I just need to get the Coyote Decals for my CCM Vector V10 Black helmet and I am ready to go. Our practice jersey’s are awesome, just like the pros wear!
We have our first tournament in two weeks, Labor Day weekend in Peoria. I will be playing against some of my friends on the Phoenix Polar Bears. That should be a fun match up.
I am looking forward to my first game as a Jr. Coyote!!
