Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
In preparing for next years Pee Wee season, the Polar Bears Pee Wee B Coach agreed to let us scrimmage his team. We are small but still battled, the chance to play up was great. We still have some things to work on, but it looks like the Squirt A Coaches have done a great job in preparing us for next year.
I personally look forward to being tall enough to climb over the boards like the Pee Wee players do to get on the bench!!
With 17 seconds left in the Sonoran Youth Hockey League Labor Day Tournament Championship, Dante breaks loose and buries one for the win! The Alltel Ice Den was rocking!
It was a great way to end the 2009-10 Squirt A season, by winning the State Championship Title!!

At the end of March, the Phoenix Polar Bears played the Jr. Coyotes in the Championship game of the Grand Canyon State Games and won 6-2. It was another amazing victory!
My Squirt A team finished the season undefeated in league games with a record of 19-0.
I had a great season with awesome teammates and an awesome Coach! Coach Ed Kastelic taught me a lot this year, and it was an honor to play for him.
It was a perfect season and I will never forget it!

Nothing beats scoring the first goal of the game for the Phoenix Polar Bears at Jobing.com Arena; except for hearing my name announced in the Phoenix Coyotes House! It was my first goal at Jobing.com and it was another highlight to my year!!
The Coyotes had just won their game the night before, their energy was still in the building! Our game against the IE Runners ended in a 5-5 tie.
A BIG thanks goes out to USA Hockey for giving us the opportunity to celebrate Hockey Across America! Thanks also to my teammate Jack for the perfect pass and to my Coach (Ed Kastelic), who loves the game of hockey and coaching it! Hockey Brings us together!
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.
