CONWAY, Ark. (December 5, 2016) – Hendrix College biology professor
Dr. Rick Murray was recently featured in a national publication … but this time it wasn’t for his research or teaching. Murray was named “Coach of the Month” in the December issue of
USA
Hockey magazine.
The Canadian native and Conway resident is the associate coach-in-chief for the Southern Amateur Hockey Association (SAHA).
Murray has spent 13 years in Arkansas (which only has two rinks in the state) teaching hockey to players and coaches.
He began volunteering as a coach when his son Ryan, now a sophomore at Hendrix, started playing and has continued to instruct players and coaches through the SAHA. Murray and his son recently started a club team at Hendrix, which debuted this fall.
“As a teacher by nature, I love passing that passion for the game along,” he said. “I don’t care if they make it to the NHL. I just hope they make it to the beer league!”
