Bauer Vapor RX:05 Roller Blades

I went to the Behind the Mask Superstore, in Scottsdale yesterday to get my birthday present, a new pair of Bauer Vapor RX:05 Roller-Blades.

While I was at BTM, I looked up at the team jersey’s hanging in the rafters and to my surprise … there was a Polar Bears jersey “Murphy 27″ along with my friend’s jersey “Barry 9″. Not sure how it got there, but I was honored to see a replica Murphy jersey hanging up there. I will miss that Polar Bears logo!

At Behind the Mask they are always helpful and they know HOCKEY! If you don’t live near Behind the Mask, you can find the Vapor RX:05′s at Amazon for about the same price BTM sells the RX:05′s for.

We got our new PB gear last night and it is pretty sweet!

Come out to the Ice Den this weekend and support youth hockey in the Valley, while getting a hockey fix before the NHL season starts! Go Polar Bears!!

Swagger Goalie Pads

I get most of my gear from BTM in Chandler & Gilbert, but today I went to Scottsdale for the opening of the Super Store on Shea Blvd. It is really BIG and the guys at the store were great!

This store has an awesome selection of pads, sticks, skates and Goalie gear. Ryan helped me put on some new Warrior Swagger pads, and he also sized my new stick for me.

The Goalie pads are on my Xmas list!, along with some lessons!

There is so much to do this summer, especially if you want to play hockey. I will be attending the Collins Hockey Camp in July at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe. Oceanside has some great things going on this summer, Mark Ciaccio Power Skating Skill Development Camp is June 1-5th and Brock Ballard’s Evolution of Hockey Day Camp. Mark Ciaccio will also be at the Alltel Ice Den in Scottsdale, June 8-12th

I also recommend, Kurt Goar’s Big City Summer Hockey Camp at Polar Ice Gilbert, I have attend Big City and Kurt is a awesome Coach.

I Dream of Watching JR Lift the Cup

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

Coyote Cup Tournament

We had an awesome practice today! We are preparing for our Coyote Cup Tournament, a few days after Christmas. I am now on the RED line, I am excited about that! Red is the color of energy, the element of fire … I was feeling it yesterday at practice, back on a line with Bunting.
