week to the next whether bed receive a paycheck or a plane ticket In his semi professional debut with Baltlm ore of the Eastern Hockey League But this winter Murray has earned a permanent berth on the Georgetown Chrysler Raiders and Is in the top six In scoring in the league After three years with the Acton Junior B Sabres In which he finished in grand style winning the Central Junior BMP award and an allstar placing Murray was given a chance of trying out with the pros His coach Jules knew Mmnessota North Stars general manager Lou and a was arranged with Toledo of the Interna tional League of players were at the camp they asked Murray to report to Baltimore The winger was released three weeks later I was a little disappolnted said Murray Some players phoned other teams most Just wanted to know why they were released NUMBERS GAME It was Just a matter of numbers for Glenn Murray as the Baltimore roster had to cut down to 19 and five players from Nashville came back to ore some of them on North Star contracts Murray returned to Canada and started playing hockey for the Milton Intermediate hockey team then a Raider affiliate team He was Milton s second leading scorer and won the rookie of the year award Doug Fry Torn Butt and Murray were called up by Georgetown during the playoffs but Murray and coach Inglls t see eye to eye and I never practised with the team after the first meeting Early this season the hard hilling and speedy winger soon proved his worth to the team His hard shot provided the firepower or goals in games coupled with assists I just want to help the team the best I can ho said Murray turned the first week in January As one of the younger players he said the older team members a It en kid the youth on the team as not knowing when to quit hustling He said the older members like Gary Ford and Ron Twiss help the younger players and when you watch the veterans there is something to be learned CONTROL GAME In Intermediate A hockey the game is more of a control game but the younger players still have a tendency to shoot the puck without making a play If re pressured Murray said The younger team members are pulling their weight he feels and the team has a good chance of repealing their Hardy Cup performance of last April Murray was he team second highest scorer until Sunday Jan In Midland when he was checked on the side of the knee and some ligaments were stretched and possibly torn I told the doctor I wanted to be back for the middle of February he sold Up until his Injury Murray was happy with his performance but he wishes he could put the puck In the net often His assists total Is high but Murray said his lack of goals could possibly be the combination of tougher goal tenders and defencemen compar to Junior B hockey Murray was born in Orangevllle and he played all his minor hockey there including a short stint with their Junior C His nickname Motor came from his Midget coach In OWN PEP RALLY The coach said I was always running my own pep rally he said Jokingly Murray always prepared himself for a hockey game by his vocal cords not by keeping quiet He lives In at the home of Frank Alsoph president of the Acton Junior Sabres Murray Is employed in at Doug Wood Tree Sales but he was recently laid off Highlights for Murray this season consist of the Port Elgin game where Georgetown came back to win with only nine skaters Another standout game has to be the win over Coll when both teams blanked one another for the first two periods be said What impresses me about the Raiders is the teamwork everyone scores and wo have
