Murf grew up playing in the minor hockey system in St. John's NFLD. He played junior A for one year before entering the military and playing hockey for them. Murf then came to PG and got involved with Bulls team playing Rec and Gentlemen's hockey. Murf is a team guy, loved by all and is always smiling, even when rubbing his glove in the other teams face. Murf has lost a step over the year sbut his hands are still great and he usually has no problem finishing off a play. Murf still has a very competetive side to him and backs down from no one.
