Hill Hockey Clinic

Hill Hockey Clinic

I wanted some extra ice time before leaving for the Warrior Hockey Tournament in Detroit, so I attended the Hill Hockey Clinic at Polar Ice Chandler in October.

Eddie Hill, his dad and wife Kelly were running the 4 day hockey clinic. Each session included two hours of ice time, with a 45 minute dry land session.

Resistance Bands

Resistance Bands

On day two of the clinic, Eddie gave me a pair of resistance bands to wear during the ice session. Then he ran me! It was rough.  When I took them off, I felt free and skating felt easier, faster.  I was prepared for the Warrior Tournament.

Eddie Hill is awesome!  Hill Hockey will be coming back to Polar Ice, Chandler, in January 2012 and again for Spring Break in March, I’ll be there for sure!

Murph Meets Phoenix Coyotes Lombardi

December 29, 2009 By Leave a Comment

I was so excited when I found out the Phoenix Coyotes Scottie Upshall and Matthew LombardiMurph With Phoenix Coyotes Lombardi were coming to Polar Ice Chandler to meet fans.  Unfortunately; they were going to be there while I was on the ice for travel practice.  My mom waited in line and got my Coyotes jersey signed, but I really wanted to meet both of them.

After practice my teammates and I were getting changed when the locker room door opened and Lombardi walked it.  Matthew heard that we didn’t get to see the players because we were on the ice, so he came to in to take photos with us.  It was so awesome!  My teammates were so excited and we will NEVER forget it!  Lombardi ROCKS on the ice and off!!
