Murph Meets Jeremy Roenick and The Sharks!

Lunch in San Jose, CA on Monday!!

My mom entered a Charity Contest on RoenickLife and WON!!  I get to fly to San Jose, CA tomorrow morning and watch the Sharks practice.  After practice, we go to Aldo’s in Los Gatos, CA for lunch with Jeremy Roenick.  This is going to be the best Monday, I have ever had.  Lunch with my favorite hockey player of all time!

I am nervous!!  I am excited!!!  I can’t believe I get to eat lunch with Jeremy Roenick!!!!   I will post pictures when I get home.

We did it … the Jr. Coyotes are Regional Champs – Beat the Jr. Sharks Again 5-3


A lot of hard work and practice went into getting us to the Silver Stick Tournament in San Jose. We played like a team in this tournament and it paid off for us. We were undefeated and our goalie had two shutouts.  The teams we played were all out of California.  They were: Santa Clara Blackhawks, Tri-Valley Blue Devils and San Jose Jr. Sharks.

The Jr. Coyotes are the first Mite Team from Arizona to win the Regional Title. That is something to be proud of.  Our Team will be engraved on the Silver Stick.

I am so happy to be a part of this team. The Coaches are awesome and the players are like brothers. This was the best Thanksgiving I ever had!

Our first victory vs Tri Valley Blue Devils 5-0

Our first game of the tournament was 4:30 pm on Thanksgiving Day.  My team played great and we won 5-0.  I had many shots on goal, but was finally able to put one in during the third period with a pass from my linemate.  One game down and three to go.

San Jose Silver Sticks Tournament for Thanksgiving

Our team has just confirmed that we are heading to San Jose, CA for Thanksgiving.  We will be participating in the Silver Sticks Mite A Regional Qualifier from November 27th ~ 30th.  This will be my first Regional Tournament with the hopes of attending the Nationals in St. Clair Shores, MI in January 2009.  It is there that we would play against the best teams in the US and Canada.  I am taking the trip with my dad, I can’t wait to play hockey in San Jose!

My Coach is really excited about taking our team to San Jose.  We have been working very hard at practice in order to prepare for November.  Going to San Jose will be a great experience for the Mite A Jr. Coyotes and something we will never forget.

My main focus will be the Regional Tournament but I am so excited to have tickets to the San Jose Sharks game while I am there.  I am looking forward to seeing Jeremy Roenick and Joe Thornton work their magic!  They are a true inspiration to any hockey player.
