The Blackhawks are mourning one of their former players on Saturday.
Troy Murray, right, greets Chicago Blackhawks center Jonathan Toews before an NHL hockey game against the Ottawa Senators, Wednesday, Feb. 21, 2018.“Troy was the epitome of a Blackhawk, so far beyond his incredible playing career with a presence felt in every corner of our organization over the last 45 years,” Blackhawks chairman and CEO Danny Wirtz said in a statement.
“He was admired by his teammates and our players, and was so proud to connect generations of Blackhawks through his work with the Blackhawks Alumni Association. He jumped at every call to support our local community with our Foundation. He never missed a chance to say ‘hello’ in our press box and always knew the perfect time for a joke just when someone around the office needed it most. And he absolutely loved bringing Blackhawks hockey to you, our fans, night after night with a dedication to his craft that never wavered to the very end. “During his long and hard battle with cancer, it was often said that Troy didn’t have any ‘give up’ in him. While our front office simply won’t be the same without him, we will carry that spirit forward every day in his honor. We’ll miss you, Muzz.”Tennis star sizzles in bikini on a yacht in new vacation photos Creeps send female tennis pros photos of guns, threaten families if they don't lose matches, terrifying messages reveal The Calgary, Alberta native starred a two-way center at the University of North Dakota, earning the WCHA Rookie of the Year award before helping the team win the national title in his sophomore season.
