Practice Totally ROCKED!

2009_07_21_20_53_16

There are 11 players from Arizona representing Team Northwest.  We have two hours of ice time each day.  The practices are great.  My Coach Steve Johnson, is the Head Coach for the Fargo Force (USHL), and he played for the UND Fighting Sioux (WCHA).

We had team pictures, with the Canadian Rockies behind us.

The weather has changed today, it was cold and raining.  The weather canceled our hike up Johnston Canyon for today, but we have two more days here to try.  This afternoon, it got colder, darker and started snowing a bit.  YEAH!

Having a great time, wish you were here!  Murph

I am here … in Canmore Canada

photoMy first time through Customs was so cool, I got a stamp in my passport book with Calgary on it.  The agent was talking to me about playing hockey and said “good luck in the tournament.”

It took about an hour to get from Calgary to Canmore.  The mountains still have snow on the peaks.  WOW!  It is amazing.  We went this afternoon to the Canmore Recreational Center to get our uniforms and photoI was able to get on the ice for a while and skate.  The TNW jacket is really awesome!

I am off now to bed, long day.  Very Exciting.  My first team practice is tomorrow afternoon.  I am looking forward to meeting my Coaches and the rest of my teammates.  GO TNW!

Countdown to Calgary Canada!

I can’t wait for June! I celebrate my 9th birthday and a few weeks later, I am going to Canada. I was so excited to get the email from Coach Todd Collins inviting me to attend the Stampede Challenge with Team Northwest AAA Hockey program.

I have dreamed about playing hockey in Canada. It was on the top of my list of goals and in 24 days, I will be on a flight to Calgary!  It is a dream come true playing for Team Northwest’s 2000 Team.
