Murray, Shelley Mentioned In Maritime NHL Book

A pair of former NHLers from the South Shore are featured in a new book. 'Road to the NHL' tells the story of 25 Maritimers who explain how they made it to the professional hockey league. In the book, author Philip Croucher talks to Bridgewater's Glen Murray and Yarmouth's Jody Shelley. He says Murray's story is interesting after landing in Boston right before the 1991-92 playoffs.


Croucher says Shelly's story is one of his favourites after he made the Halifax Mooseheads as a walk-on, and ended up playing over 600 games in the NHL. The book has write-ups on players from New Brunswick, P.E.I, and Nova Scotia. It can be purchased at Coles bookstore in the Bridgewater Mall or Walmart.
