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!
This weekend January 29-31, is USA Hockey Weekend Across America presented by Reebok. I am very excited that my Phoenix Polar Bears Squirt A Team will be participating at noon on January 31st, we will be playing at Jobing.com Arena in Glendale vs the IE Runners.
USA Hockey Weekend Across America is a chance to celebrate the game of hockey and also provide an opportunity to those that want to try it. Check out USA Hockey for Rinks that will be offering a free trial of hockey this weekend.

This weekend Watch Hockey or Play Hockey, and lets celebrate HOCKEY!
I am so excited about my upcoming season with my Jr. Coyotes Team. We had a preseason camp during the month of May and our official season begins in August. In the meantime, I am playing Squirt House, occasionally taking private lessons and catching a power skating class. To me, it is all about the ice time, that is where I love to be.
Our team looked good during preseason; and can only get better under the direction of our Coaches. Go Coyotes!

Even in the heat … I continue to practice! I wake up, grab my bucket of Fly Pucks, my Hockey Net (NHL Franklin Roll A Goal) and go to work on my shot. Stopping occasionally to perfect a move or two! My goal is to hit my target (the water bottles my dad hung) with at least 100 shots per session. I keep a log of how many pucks I shoot a day, so I know how many I have done in a month. I have noticed that my shot is getting stronger and I am able to take it top shelf since I have been practicing. When practicing off ice, Murph prefers the Fly Puck!
