Hi my name is Jacob, and I was 5 years old and playing soccer when my parents took me to a Phoenix Coyotes game. They bought me a stick and fluffy puck and played around the house shooting the puck against the walls of my house and that’s where my passion for hockey took off.

First it was skating lessons,hockey tots, hockey 1, mini mites, cross ice mites, then travel. I am now going into his 4th season of playing travel hockey for the Phoenix Polar Bears. Along the way I have learned so much about the sport. In my second year of travel, coach Mike Goldberg was one of my coaches with Bart Hull. Coach Bart started calling me Buzzy named after the Miracle on Ice forward Buz Schneider, and it has stayed with me. I am playing on the Polar Bears Squirt A team. I play right wing and I am having a blast. My teammates are awesome. I hope to go on and play high school, college and dream of playing for the USA Olympic Team.

Here’s how you can help….

1) Chip in any amount by clicking the ‘ChipIn’ tool, or;

2) Buy or sponsor a seat at our “Holdem Poker Night” on Nov. 13th. (I want to play, but I’m not sure 9-year olds are allowed at the table).

Thank you in advance for supporting me and our team!
