He died earlier today after battling cancer. He was 63.
“Tory Murray was one of the all-time great players at UND,” said UND head hockey coach Dane Jackson. “He will be remembered mostly for what a genuine and selfless teammate he was. Troy’s humility and passion to help those around him was special. He was a high character guy that was an ultimate competitor that did anything to win. He was a true leader that left an indelible mark on our program.”
