Career
Murphy began attending Clarkson University in 1994 after a three-year stint with his home-town junior team, the Nanaimo Clippers. Murphy became the starter for the Golden Knights as a freshman, helping the team win the ECAC Hockey regular season title. His numbers improved greatly as a sophomore and he finished in the top 10 in the nation with a 2.70 goals against average. That, coupled with playing in every game for Clarkson, earned him a spot on the All-American second team. The team made its second consecutive NCAA appearance with Murphy as their goaltender and lost a closly-fought game against top-seeded Boston University. Murphy improved again as a junior, winning 27 games and leading Clarkson to another league championship. While the team fell in the ECAC championship game, Clarkson received the top eastern seed and was expected to make a run for the NCAA Championship. Unfortunately, Murphy turned in one of his worst performances on the year and surrendered 5 goals to Colorado College in the quarterfinals. For his senior season, Murphy split time in goal with Chris Bernard, ending up with a record of just 10–9–2, but it was enough for him to become the program's all-time wins leader.[2] Clarkson finished second in the ECAC and made their fourth consecutive NCAA appearance. They were set against CC in the First Round bout couldn't exact their revenge, losing 1–3.
After graduating, Murphy began a professional career and carved out a spot as a serviceable backup at the AHL level. After a few years he found himself demoted to the ECHL but began to receive more playing time a back injury forced him to retire in 2005 after just seven years of pro hockey.[3]
