Hockey Lessons with XPro Hockey

February 8, 2012 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

For the past few years, I have been taking lessons with John Kosobud and Alex Hicks at Oceanside Ice Arena in Tempe. Their hockey lessons are fun, fast paced and nonstop movement! They work on inside & outside edges, puck control, puck protection, quick feet and so much more. Their hockey drills have helped me improve my game. Coach John and Coach Alex are such good people!

Hicks and Kosobud are ex-professional hockey players, they have created XPro Hockey. If you need to work on anything to improve your game of hockey, they will help you succeed!

We WON!!! The Labor Day Tournament

September 9, 2009 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

This long hockey weekend was AWESOME!! The Phoenix Polar Bears did a great job bringing home the banner in the Labor Day Tournament!

We were in second place going into the playoffs. It was pretty cool that we played against my old teammates from the Jr. Coyotes. I had the first goal of the game; it was a rebound goal, off of a nice shot from my teammate Mark.

I’m not sure I agree with the tripping penalty I got in that game! Sorry Robby!!

That win gave us a spot in the Championship game on Monday vs the Jr. Coyotes 99 team. We were down 2-0, and came back to win the game 4-2!

It was an incredible victory. I could hear the Polar Bear fans counting down the clock and we cleared the bench and headed for our goalie! SWEET! We got trophies and skated around the rink with the banner. What a great way to start the season!!

Off Season Training Starts Today!

Off to the Races … Touch Down!

Yesterday, I played my last hockey tournament as a Mite. We had two games, we won the first and lost the second to the Polar Bears. It was a good way to end the season, playing against my friends on the PB. We should have won that game … but, long shifts and tired legs … we lost by ONE!

Today officially started my off ice training, so I can be ready for the next season of Squirts. I am playing Flag Football and I know the Coach! We won both games and our team is looking great with only two practices under our belt.

I am looking forward to next weekend, my team is taking on my goalie’s flag football team!! May the best hockey player WIN!!
