NHL Alumni Game

December 22, 2010 By murphhockey 1 Comment

OK, so this was a really BIG moment for me! I just finished receiving my Give Back Award from Kristy, Stacy & Gina and they told me that I could drop the puck during the NHL Alumni vs Coaches game and sit on the bench with the NHL players.

Getting to see Coach Chaffee, Coach Whyte & Coach Kastelic in action was really cool. The NHL Alumni players still have a lot of game left in them and they were so awesome to hang out with. Tyson Nash is a great skater!

It is a night I will never forget!

Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Breast Cancer Awareness

The Phoenix Polar Bear Squirt A team, donned PINK tape on their sticks yesterday to show their support for those facing Breast Cancer. I played my game yesterday for my cousin Posie, who was diagnosed this month and underwent surgery this past week. My first goal was dedicated to her!

Please visit my American Cancer Society Making Strides page and support me in the fight against Breast Cancer. Together, as a team … we can make a difference. Thank you!
