Bridgewater's Glen Murray will get his nod into the Nova Scotia Sport Hall of Fame this weekend. Murray, who celebrated his 40th birthday Thursday, played 16 seasons in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins, Boston Bruins and L.A. Kings, totalling 651 career points in 1,009 games. He says some of his more memorable moments include his first NHL game, winning gold with team Canada at the World Championships and playoff series' between the Bruins and Montreal Canadiens. Murray says making it into the local Hall of Fame means a lot to him.
Murray says he was fortunate to have a 16-year career in the NHL, and feels everything he has in his life he owes to the game of hockey. Also being inducted are Olympic-medal winning paddler Steve Giles and Vince Horsman, a former major league pitcher. The induction ceremony goes tomorrow night in Halifax.
