Mark Murphy

Mark Murphy is an American professional ice hockey player, who played for the [DEG Metro Stars][1] in the German Ice Hockey League. Murphy was born on August 6, 1976 in Duxbury, Massachusetts, and has come a long way from his earlier years of playing junior ice hockey.

He was first drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs back in 1995 from the Stratford Warriors; a Canadian junior ice hockey team based in Stratford, Ontario, Canada, established back in 1962.

Murphy’s professional career, however, did not start as a junior ice hockey player but as a player of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. There, Murphy played for four years until he left the institution. Murphy then joined the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins for a year before transferring once more to play with the Portland Pirates.

It took Murphy a couple more years jumping from one team to the other, even joining the [Augsburger Panthe][2]r before managing to play with the DEG Metro Stars. His active years were in September 1999 – May 2011, playing professionally for approximately 11 years and 9 months.

Murphy played in six leagues over the course of his career. He played professionally in North America and Europe for 12 seasons.

He has now since moved on to a different career and is now settled in Canada. He worked as a Director of Operations for 2 years and 4 months for Bgood Canada; a restaurant chain that serves “real” fast food. He has since been promoted to COO of the same company last February 2016.
