Career
As a junior he played for the Sudbury Wolves in the Ontario Hockey League . Glen Murray was selected in the first round of the 1991 NHL Entry Draft in 18th position by the Boston Bruins , who brought him to the National Hockey League for five games at the end of the following season . With three goals he also recommended himself for the playoffs, where he stood out positively with six scorer points in six games.
His rookie season 1992/93 then played part of Murray on the farm team in the American Hockey League with the Providence Bruins . The high expectations that the management had set in the first round of the draft pick, which also impressed so much in the first games, could not be met by Murray and so the Bruins gave him in the summer, after he never reached more than 31 points in the season 1995 together with Bryan Smolinski in exchange for Kevin Stevens and Shawn McEachern to the Pittsburgh Penguins .
In Pittsburgh his performances were only average and after a year and a half the Penguins brought Ed Olczyk from the Los Angeles Kings and Murray was given to LA for this. After he had only come to 22 points in the first 66 games of the 1996/97 season , he added eight points in the eleven games with the Kings. He stayed in Los Angeles until shortly after the start of the 2001/02 season and was able to achieve more than 60 scorer points twice during this time. In those years he was one of the Kings top scorers.
At the end of October 2001, he returned to the Boston Bruins. Together with Jozef Stümpel he came in exchange for Jason Allison and Mikko Eloranta . Back at his old place of work, he was now the leading player that had been hoped for almost ten years earlier. Murray had his most successful season in the 2002/03 game year at the side of Joe Thornton , when he came up with 44 goals and 48 assists on 92 points. So he got an invitation to the NHL All-Star Game in 2003 and 2004 . In the summer of 2008, the Canadian ended his active career after 15 years in the league.
After a break of several years, he then took over an official position in his ex-team Los Angeles Kings in the summer of 2012. First he worked as a consultant for four years, then for two years as a coach for the development of young players. He has been Director of Player Development since the beginning of the 2018/19 season .
International
For his home country, Murray took part in the 1998 and 2004 World Championships . After taking the ungrateful fourth place with the Canadian national team in 1998 , he won the world title six years later. In addition, he contributed four scorer points in nine tournament games, including two goals.
