Thanksgiving Weekend Skate Party

10/30/2016 By gfallar

We’re throwing a skating party at AZ Ice Peoria on Saturday, November 26 from 5pm to 7pm.

We’re having a Thanksgiving Weekend Skate Party thanks to the great people at AZ Ice Peoria.

This is a fundraiser to benefit the past and future endeavors of Desert Hockey Development in our goal of growing the game of hockey in Arizona.

A $5 donation per person is requested and a $20 donation for a family. Click here for tickets or you can buy them at the door.

Skates are included, and all family donations get you entered into a drawing for a cool Martin Hanzal “locker”, one of the bonuses from the 2015-2016 Coyotes season.

Assistance will be available for kids and adults that aren’t yet comfortable on skates. The object is to have fun, NOT fall down all over the place!

This is a fun holiday skate for kids and their families, so we won’t be playing hockey or allowing hockey sticks or pucks. If you want to bring hockey gloves and protective gear, that’s of course just fine!

Please join us, and please spread the word! We can really use the help and the more people we have, the more fun it will be.

See you there!

Arizona Coyotes Foundation video

05/20/2016 By gfallar

The Arizona Coyotes Foundation showed this video at the Celebrity Waiters Gala in March.

Desert Hockey Development (DHD) is proud to have been a recipient of a grant which made it possible for us to begin our expansion process and has given us the ability to mobilize around the state of Arizona.

The Arizona Coyotes Foundation raises funds all year to benefit at least THIRTY different groups in the 2015-16 period. When you contribute to a 50/50, you’re contributing to the foundation.

If you follow the team, you’ve seen the foundation’s work around the community. They’re out there ALL the time, volunteering and making a difference in people’s lives.

We’re grateful for the partnership we have with the Arizona Coyotes Foundation, they’re a great group of people with a high degree of passion for hockey and for the community. Next time you see one of them, shake their hand and introduce yourself.

Norterra Canyon K-8 School Carnival

04/10/2016 By gfallar

Desert Hockey Development had the new portable rink up and running for the first time at a school carnival at Norterra Canyon School on Saturday, April 9, 2016.

Over fifty kids joined DHD throught the afternoon and evening to basically mess around with some ball hockey to get the feel for how to use a hockey stick and to have some fun.

This sort of event is something DHD is looking to attend more often, we just want to get hockey sticks into the hands of kids that otherwise, for whatever reason, probably wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do so.

While the Norterra Canyon School is in an affluent area of Phoenix, DHD will happily travel to any event of this nature if it can fit the schedule. If you are involved in event planning for school carnivals, block parties, gatherings of a nature where there would be enough kids in attendance that fifty or so kids would end up joining us for some hockey, we’d love to hear from you. Use the contact page to find out how to get us using the communication type of your choice.

DHD would like to thank the kids and parents of Norterra Canyon that dropped in to play some hockey with us, we hope to see you again!

Buffalo Wild Wings Fundraiser for DHD

06/07/2015 By gfallar

Desert Hockey Development (DHD) is an all volunteer organization that strives to offer free hockey clinics and events to youth in Arizona. While we run a tight ship on a shoestring budget, we still have expenses we need to defray.

During our Coyotes Street Hockey Summer League events on selected Saturdays during the summer of 2015, Buffalo Wild Wings in Westgate has generously offered DHD ten percent of the total check for food and drinks for any customers with the coupons provided on this page.

If you’re going to be in the area and plan to have a meal or some drinks, please consider supporting DHD by downloading and printing the coupons and patronizing Buffalo Wild Wings in Westgate (in Glendale, AZ) while you’re there.

Each coupon is valid for a specific date, we’ll update the site with the correct coupon for the next upcoming date as we march toward the final event of our hockey league season on August 8.

The dates our coupons are valid are June 20, July 11, July 25, and August 8. Please be aware each date has a different coupon, so if you hit Buffalo Wild Wings on more than one Saturday, you need a different coupon.

Thanks!

Coyotes Team Signed Jersey

06/18/2014 By gfallar

The jersey was won by Kate and Ryan! Because of a scheduling conflict at Jobing.com Arena, we moved the raffle up one week and picked the winning ticket during our final Summer At Jobing.com Kids Clinic. Kate and Ryan are both Coyotes fans, although Ryan’s “first team” is the Bruins. They drive up from Tucson to Coyotes home games, so the jersey has a good home with some good fans.

THANKS AGAIN to the Coyotes for donating this team signed jersey to Desert Hockey Development to support our projects. We can say that, without the Coyotes, we would be struggling to get this off the ground.

The Coyotes have generously offered us a team signed jersey (among MANY other things) for us to use in our fundraising efforts.

Coyotes Signed Team Jersey - 2013-2014 — Coyotes Signed Team Jersey

We’re going to try something different. We will be raffling this jersey over the summer to celebrate our “Summer At Jobing.com” kids FREE hockey clinics. We’ll randomly select the winning ticket at the end of our final clinic on August 23.

We’ll be selling raffle tickets for $5 each or five for $20 at every clinic event starting Saturday, June 21. There’s no obligation for anybody to buy anything, if we only sell one raffle ticket that’s the winning raffle ticket and somebody will get an authentic Coyotes sweater for five beans.

This is a brand new authentic home jersey, the LAST year with the “PHX” shoulder patch, size large.

This is a rare (perhaps the only one in the world!) DOUBLE KLINKHAMMER jerseys, coveted worldwide by serious collectors. And… it can be YOURS!

There is a Certificate of Authenticity. Even if YOU believe us when we say it’s the real deal, maybe your friends won’t.

I’m Not Coming To The Clinics!

We won’t leave out the people that aren’t coming to any of our FREE clinics at Jobing.com Arena. Click here or on the image of the jersey to the right to get yourself some tickets.

Here’s the thing, we will NOT be delivering your tickets to you, we’re going to write your name on the back and keep them at DHD International Corporate Headquarters under lock and key. In other words, you’ll need to trust us. If that doesn’t work for you, then please don’t click the link to buy raffle tickets.

Grow The Game Sponsors – Sanderson

04/26/2014 By gfallar

We’re happy to have Sanderson Ford (6400 N. 51st Ave, Glendale) with us as a major sponsor of the inaugural Grow The Game Golf Classic. They’re providing us with a BUNCH of great prizes, including a new car.

Sanderson is sponsoring our big Hole-In-One prize, a two year lease on a brand new Ford Fusion. It’s not an impossible task, either. Get an ace on the eighth hole (a 165 yard par 3) and be sure that a couple of your buddies saw it. Do those easy things and drive home with a Fusion, which is a pretty sweet ride.

But, if you manage to shoot a hole-in-one on one (or more!) of three other par three holes, you might score a 3 day/two night golf vacation (there’s TWO of these up for grabs) or a Tour Edge Exotics fairway wood package.

ALL great stuff and all courtesy of Sanderson Ford. They’ll be at the eighth hole with the Fusion, stop by , shake their hands and talk cars for awhile.
