RIX U12 Takes Second at the 2008 PB Tournament – U12B Division
RIX 2008 Holiday Skate and Gift Giving Thanks for all who made it to this year's Holiday Skate! Once again we collected gifts for Mrs. Honeyman's second grade class at Vartan Gregorian Elementary School. We had a great group of Santa's elves on hand to collect and wrap the gifts. They'll be delivered to class this week just in time for Christmas!

Coach Murphy Honored by Big Sisters of Rhode Island
"I have a strong sense of responsibility not only to represent my profession passionately, but also as a strong female leader for the
young women I work with every day," said Murphy. "Whether it's my college student-athletes, the young girls that are part of our RI
IXpress hockey program, young women in the community, or my own children, the message is simple -- as a women you can be anything you want and with integrity, perseverance and humility you will succeed."
November 1, 2007 In November 2007, as part of our new Bag for Bag program, the U12 and U14 players for the RI IXpress girls hockey program collected 400lbs of food on behalf of the RI Community Food Bank's Kids' Café program. Each of the players was to receive a new hockey bag for this season, and in the spirit of giving and getting, we looked for an opportunity for them to give something to the community. "In this program, we help the players learn that in hockey, as in life, you get what you give," said Aronda Kirby and Coach Digit Murphy, co-founders of the RI IXpress. "The girls went above and beyond donating this much food and really showed what a good community service spirit a team can have!" Glove tip directed Brown's Stock into starting spot

On November 10, 2007, Digit Murphy, co-founder and Director of the RI IXpress and Head Coach of the Brown Women's Hockey Team, was honored by the Big Sisters of Rhode Island Organization. As
they celebrated their 40th anniversary, Big Sisters of RI honored "40 Magical Women We Admire" at their Abracadabra Ball. Coach Murphy is especially proud of this award as it highlights both her
personal achievements as a female coach and her work in the community as a positive role model and mentor of young women on and off the ice.
Bob Knight may have received the most attention when he surpassed Dean Smith on the all-time men's basketball
career wins list earlier this year, but Knight is not the only active coach to reach that milestone in his respective sport. In fact, he's not even the only one who did so this year. Brown coach Digit Murphy scored her 293rd career
win in December to put her at the top of the women's hockey coaching list ...
