Youth Hockey Player Blogs About his Passion - Ice Hockey
Waited in line at Game Stop, with some awesome hockey people! Played a little Winter Classic game while waiting and at midnight, they handed me the game!
First NHL12 game, I played as Roenick and scored a couple hattricks. Had a TON of penalties!! Final score 8-6 with Roenick scoring most of those GOALS!!
Graphics are amazing! The hitting is so much better! EA Sports … it’s in the game!!!
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

Murph Celebrates with AZ Runners Line Mates
Love this time of the year! Getting ready for try outs and a new season of hockey. I was asked to play for the AZ Runners, in the Jr. Ducks Memorial Day Shoot Out Tourney in Anaheim, CA.
After going up against the AZ Runners hard all season, I can’t believe I am wearing their jersey and playing for their team. We had 3 practices prior to leaving for California, I loved the extra ice time and getting to know my new teammates. The players are awesome, I have made so many friends.
My first official tournament as a Pee Wee player and there is checking! I am having a blast. Taking as well as giving some hits! The tournament was a great way for me to get ready for try outs. My game last night was on a sheet of olympic ice, that was some good conditioning! Looking forward to finishing up this tourney strong and learning all there is to learn from my coaches.
Jr. Ducks Tourney is awesome! You can check out our tournament progress on PointStreak here.
My travel season as a Squirt Player has come to an end. I am now officially a Pee Wee Player!
The Squirt A Phoenix Polar Bears
I had an amazing season and made some life-time friendships. On April 4th, the Arizona Hockey Union held their annual End-of-Season Awards Ceremony. Being named the MVP for my team was an honor! I was so excited to see a few of my friends that played travel for the first time this season, were also awarded for their hard work and dedication to hockey!
Murph as a Mite
Shocking was the announcement that next season there will be NO more Phoenix Polar Bears and NO more Arizona Heat! They will unite under the black and purple jersey and become one, known as the Arizona Hockey Union!
Thank you Phoenix Polar Bears for great memories, going all the back to my first travel season as a Mite! It was a jersey I respected every time I put it on.
Dear Goldwater Institute Staff:
Phoenix Coyotes Game
Last night was the best night of my life! Why you ask? Because, I attended another Phoenix Coyotes game. I love hockey, hockey is my passion, heck, hockey is my life. I cannot imagine my life without MY local hockey team. The Phoenix Coyotes sponsored my career 7 years ago in Kids First Hockey, they provided me with full gear, so that I along with hundreds of other kids could try the sport. I was hooked because of the Phoenix Coyotes generosity. The Phoenix Coyotes are extremely generous, and are always giving back to the community that supports them!
I’m only 10 and I know if I beg my parents enough, I can usually get them to buy me that new hockey stick I want so badly. SO … I am begging you here; because I want he Phoenix Coyotes to say in Arizona, way more than any new, awesome hockey stick.
The Boys with Derek Morris
PLEASE find a way … any way to allow the sale of the Phoenix Coyotes to go through! The Phoenix Coyotes are part of our hockey family, part of our community and we should reachout and help them. PLEASE, please, Please!
Please, don’t let this season be the last time I have the “best night of my life” … please find a way to HELP the Phoenix Coyotes stay in Glendale! Please:) with a smiley face attached!
Sincerely, Patrick W. Murphy (Murph #27)
