Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2007-08: Took over the starting reins for the Belleville Bulls.  Posted a .929 save percentage and 2.24 GAA in the regular season.  Led the team to the Memorial Cup.  Named OHL goaltender of the year.

Talent Analysis

His slight stature could hold him back.  He will need to compensate for his lack of ideal size with athleticism.

Future

Murphy’s flopping style, while unorthodox, served him well in his first season as a starter in Belleville. He also showed flashes of his ability to stop the puck by any means necessary at the Canes prospect camp in July. He will return to Belleville for the 2008-09 season.
