The schedule is out for the Thanksgiving Shootout Tournament, November 26-28, 2010. First up, the Squirt A Phoenix Polar Bears are taking on the La Jolla Jaguars, out of San Diego, CA. The complete tournament schedule can be found here. It is so cool that you can sign up and get text updates for your favorite team playing in the tournament.

There is a lot to do this time of year in Phoenix. Including catching a Phoenix Coyotes game. Yotes are taking on Anaheim Ducks at Jobing.com Arena on Saturday, November 27th at 6pm. Tickets can be purchased through the tournament if needed here. The Hockey Pin Trading Event will be at the Peoria Polar Ice Rink on Saturday Morning from 11am-1pm.

I am really looking forward to playing hockey and eating some turkey (on and off the ice)!

Weekend of Walking for Good Causes

November 10, 2010 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

This past Saturday, I participated in the Making Strides Breast Cancer 5K Walk in Tempe, AZ. I designed a pink tie-died t-shirt to wear to the event. It will be my 5th year walking for the cause. I had a cousin diagnosed this year with Breast Cancer, so walking it this time meant a lot to me.

Then on Sunday, my Phoenix Polar Bears team wore green bandanas and walked a 5K at the Phoenix Zoo, to support the Lymphoma Foundation. One of our teammates grandmother died of this disease. Our team raised $340 to support this important cause.

Together, we can make a difference!

Breast Cancer Awareness

The Phoenix Polar Bear Squirt A team, donned PINK tape on their sticks yesterday to show their support for those facing Breast Cancer. I played my game yesterday for my cousin Posie, who was diagnosed this month and underwent surgery this past week. My first goal was dedicated to her!

Please visit my American Cancer Society Making Strides page and support me in the fight against Breast Cancer. Together, as a team … we can make a difference. Thank you!

EA Sports NHL11 Rocks!

September 10, 2010 By murphhockey Leave a Comment

For those of you who are living under a rock, NHL11 was released last Tuesday. Its Killer! The game is so much better then NHL10. The face offs are pretty cool and you can even break your stick. It has new quick dekes, hip checks and when the home team scores, the scoring player gets a spot light. There is a lot more but you need to see it for yourself. My gamertag is murphhockey.

LOL My Dad can’t figure out how to win a face off yet.

The only thing that isn’t cool is that if you have more then one Live account on your Xbox, EA Sports wants $9.99 for you to play online for each additional account. So my account was free but my Dad had to pay 10 bucks.

It looks like NHL11 will be the only hockey game in town for Xbox and PS3. 2K11 is only for the Wii this year. No big loss!

If your going to buy NHL11, I would appreciate if you pick it up at my store. I have both versions there. Here is the direct Link: NHL11
