Jeremy Roenick Retires

August 6, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

I will never forget coming home from school today and logging onto RoenickLife.com and watching Jeremy Roenick speak about his retirement from the NHL after 20 seasons. He said it’s not a sad day … but to me it is. I will not get to watch him play this season. I can’t imagine that, I have watched him play since I was three.

I thank JR for being a friend and an awesome role model. I will continue to wear his number and dream big. I want to be like Jeremy Roenick when I grow up!

Good luck in the future!

Murph’s Sporting His Sharks Helmet

How can this be? I am soooooo bummed over the Shark’s loss last night. Painful!! The Sharks had 35 shots on goal to the Ducks 17?? We just could not find an opening and how many times did the puck hit the crossbar?? Painful!!

I love my new Sharks goalie Helmet, it was a gift from my parents because the Sharks are in the Playoffs! I was Nabby in goal during the intermission breaks. The helmet ROCKS!

Until Sunday when the Sharks take on the Ducks for game 2. Murph #27

Roenick hopes Cup is career’s exclamation point

Tuesday, 04.14.2009 / 12:26 PM / 2009 Playoffs Conference Quarterfinals

By Dan Rosen - NHL.com Staff Writer

Jeremy Roenick was eating dinner with family and friends in an upscale Scottsdale restaurant on June 9, 2001. He vividly remembers the date, if not the meal, because that same night, roughly 850 miles away in Denver, Ray Bourque was playing for his first and only Stanley Cup.

So, if you were in Scottsdale that night, the guy you saw running back and forth between that swanky restaurant and the local bar three blocks away was good old J.R.

“The closest TV was three blocks from the restaurant,” Roenick told NHL.com. “I got up three different times and ran three blocks to see where it was in the game to make sure I got to see Ray Bourque raise the Stanley Cup. I specifically remember running three blocks, leaving my family and friends, to watch him do that.”

If Roenick gets his wish now, someone will be running to watch him raise the Cup for the first time ever this coming June. Read The Rest of the Article Here

Jeremy Roenick ~ Totally ROCKS!

March 11, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

I still can’t believe I was in San Jose last week. It was raining all day, and my mom and I got soaked!! It’s so funny because my mom almost rented a convertible! We went to a very cool restaurant Aldo’s, that is where the Sharks go all the time for lunch. Our waiter was Frenchy … although he was very Italian! The food was so good!! I kept thinking that “I can’t believe I am eating lunch, in front of Jeremy Roenick,” but I kept eating and even had an awesome piece of chocolate cake!! Jeremy had his usual, he ate the biggest bowl of pasta I have ever seen and had some chicken with it.

Jeremy gave me a shout out on his website! He is totally the coolest, I picked a great hockey HERO! Lunch was so over the top and I still can’t believe it happened. It was the best surprise my parents gave me yet! They ROCK too!!
