Murphy joined the St. Lawrence men's hockey staff as an assistant coach in June 2019 after spending the previous 10 seasons as an assistant coach at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts.
As the recruiting coordinator for the Falcons, Murphy recruited the program's first NHL Draft pick, seven of Bentley's 100-plus career points scorers, to the leader in all major goaltending statistical categories, and the all-time leading scorer for defensemen in Bentley history. Murphy also helped Bentley to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in program history in 2013-14 and 2014-15.
Prior to his time at Bentley, Murphy was a graduate assistant coach at Division III Castleton and also served as an assistant coach with the Wichita Thunder.
He graduated from the University of Maine in 2005, where he helped the Black Bears to NCAA Tournament appearances all four seasons and played in two national championship games in 2002 and 2005. He went on to play professionally in Wichita for the 2005-06 season.
