Coyotes Street Hockey Summer League Results – Week 2

Coyotes Street Hockey Summer League
Week 2 Results

We had some special guests join us yesterday. Ace sportswriter and all around decent guy Craig Morgan brought his Fox Sports expertise and camera to see what’s going on this summer with ball hockey in Gila River Arena.

Also on hand was former first round draft pick and also all around decent guy, Coyotes defenseman Connor Murphy. Connor played hockey with everybody and it sure looked like he managed to talk to every single kid in the building at least once, and he only left the building when everything was being packed up.

We (DHD) can’t thank you enough, Connor, for your visit and everything you passed on to the next set of first round draft picks that are just learning the ropes.

Not only that, but Murphy’s namesake team jumped a spot in the standings because they were obviously inspired by the tall defenseman. Note to number 89, the BoedZillas dropped a spot and the next event is July 11. We’ll save you a spot, Boeds.
** NOTE: A scoring error, spotted by a sharp eyed Gila River Monster, changed the rankings when we corrected the scores. So, the SMurphs, despite having their team decimated by a couple older “no show” kids, managed to hold on to their spot.

Chalk Art Festival at Westgate

DHD was lucky to be involved with the Chalk Art Festival at Westgate on April 18.

The Arizona Coyotes generously loaned us their ball hockey gear to allow us to host a bunch of kids playing ball hockey while also participating in the Chalk Art Festival or simply visiting Westgate.

Chalk Art Hockey

At least 100 kids played hockey throughout the day without a break, the rink wasn’t empty once during the day. We ran out of permission slips by 4:30 pm and had to pack it in.

Most of those kids picked up a hockey stick for the first time and got the feel for playing the game.

Some of the children have since signed up with Desert Hockey Development for more FREE hockey fun at our events.

Desert Hockey Development is actively seeking opportunities to present events like this in the Phoenix metropolitan area. If you have a group event coming up and there will be plenty of children in the 4-14 age range, we’d be happy to speak with you to see if we can work together.

Typically, DHD looks to participate in free events so we can further our “Always Free, Always Fun” philosophy of presenting the sport of hockey, leadership, and sportsmanship to as many people as possible regardless of their economic or social condition.
