Disclaimer: The comments in this blog are my personal opinion and may or may not reflect an adopted position of the city of Glendale and its city council.

I have been on the Glendale City Council since 1992. During that time many momentous events have occurred in Glendale. One of the most memorable was the opening of the city’s arena with the first season of hockey played there. That was back in 2002, twenty-four years ago and I still remember the excitement.

I am now in my 80’s and we are downsizing our life style. Tucked away in a dark, cool closet I found my hockey memorabilia. In 2003, there was the Grand Opening of the city-owned arena and the first season of play by what was called at that time, the Phoenix Coyotes.

All of the councilmembers received special commerative gifts to celebrate the Grand Opening and the start of hockey at the arena. Each councilmember received a hockey stick signed by the team at that time as well as a hockey shirt, also signed by the team. To my knowledge there are only 7 sticks and 7 shirts. I do not know what the other councilmembers did with their gifts. I tucked mine away in a cool, dark closet and there they have been until I decided to clean out the closet.

The reason I am sharing this info is because I have decided to sell the stick and the shirt. If nothing else, they are historical and reflect a time of hope and excitement.
