Superman Dive Draws a Penalty!

Physical!  A very physical scrimmage on Sunday morning at the Alltel Ice Den.  Refs weren’t calling to many penalties, but the Jr. Coyotes 99′s goalie reached out and IMG_7415put his stick between my skates as I was going for the puck.  The ref was watching that time!  Finally, a power play for the Bears!

The Jr. Coyotes AA shut us down.  This is the same team we beat in the Labor Day Tournament??  We need to do better this coming weekend.  It was good to scrimmage and a great practice to get us ready for our League game Sunday morning in Chandler.

Highlights from the game on YouTube

The Coyotes are Back on the ICE!

IMG_5305It was friends, food, fun and HOCKEY Saturday night at Jobing.com Arena.  Before the game, my family attended a Coyotes tailgating party.  I played a little hockey with some Coyotes fans, everyone was so pumped up for the doors to open and get inside.  I got to meet Doug Moss, he was so excited about Opening Night.

I won a signed Shane Doan hockey puck (on his 33rd birthday), from HockeyBuzz for the sign I made … AWESOME!  It was really cool seeing everyone wearing WHITE.  YandleI saw so many Roenick #97 Coyotes Jerseys.

I finally saw a NHL player with an Easton S19 Hockey Stick up close, when Yandle went to the penalty box.  Wow, I want one!

I really wanted a Coyotes Win, but loosing the game did not take away from all the excitement I felt about the COYOTES being back on the ice in Glendale, AZ and going to my first WhiteOut Hockey game.

My Coach said it best after we lost a game like that “an eye opener … moving forward.”

We are Hockey Players … Not Monkeys!

Please Do NOT Climb on the Nets at Arcadia Ice!  The sign did make it tempting!!IMG00142

At The Coyotes Hearing Today in Phoenix

Coyotes Hearing September 11, 2009This will be my first time ever to the Federal Courthouse in Phoenix.  I am going to lend my support to the Phoenix Coyotes.

As a hockey player myself, I feel so bad for the families of the hockey players.  I am hoping that all of this is over soon and we can enjoy hockey in the desert!!
