He revealed during a recent interview to ESPN, it was his love for playing catch what made him decide to become a goalie. “It was probably that I used to love playing catch when I was a kid. So I think the glove — and that chance to catch pucks — definitely had a lot to do with me wanting to be a goalie.”
Murray also reveals his eternal gratitude to his parents who were incredibly supportive of his career, he played five years of triple-A hockey, meaning his parents paid a great deal of money for equipment, traveling and hotel accommodations, without complaining one bit.
Between 2009 and 2010 Murray played in 40 games for the Thunder Bay Kings midget minor team in his hometown. He was 32-5 and had six shutouts with a1.71 goals against average.

Besides his parents, there is another person who is definitely influential in the life of the young player, his girlfriend Christina.
