Colorado Bound … Arvada MLK Hockey Tournament

January 13, 2010 By murphhockey 2 Comments

After hockey practice tonight; picked up some Pei Wei, the fortune in my cookie read: You will be traveling to distant lands for business purposes. It’s true, I am heading to Colorado, that is … kind of a distant land and my business is HOCKEY!

I will land in Denver around 10:30 am on Friday and head straight for the Ice Center at the Promenade for a team practice. Our first game is Saturday morning at 7:00am, shortly after there will be a team pin trading ceremony, and then I am heading to the Pepsi Center where the Colorado Avalanche take on the New Jersey Devils. Look for me on TV, I am going to wear my Phoenix Coyotes Jersey to the game!!! The Phoenix Polar Bears play two more games on Sunday and we will finish things up on Monday.

The Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A team is looking to bring home the banner from the MLK Hockey Tournament in Arvada, CO.

PHX Polar Bears Making Strides Walk

November 9, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

Saturday was an amazing morning in Tempe, AZ! I joined some of my teammates from the Phoenix Polar Bears and walked 3.26 miles to support the American Cancer Society’s Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk, there was almost 10,000 walkers!

With the support of my family & friends, I was able to raise $230 for the cause! At the very end of the event, I met a Breast Cancer Survivor and she praised us and thanked us for walking.

The Jr. A players were waiting and cheering us on at the finish line. The Phoenix Polar Bear Jr. A Team will be wearing Limited Edition Pink Jersey’s for 12 hockey games. They are holding an AUCTION, so you can purchase the PINK jersey of your favorite Jr. A player with ALL proceeds going to the American Cancer Society, the auction ends December 5th. Go Polar Bears!!
