The following is the first entry of "Randy Murphy's Dubai Diary"

"Had a skate last night at the Dubai Rink with the guys from the Dubai Mighty Camels League. They have about 150 guys in the league with a wide range of talent. We played with a few guys who are Emiratis (UAE National). The Nationals were actually very good skaters.

The skate was just a tune up for some of the guys for the Tournament which starts Wednesday night and goes through until Saturday. I will update you as games go. Take Care!"
