ITEM DESCRIPTION
This jersey is a 2011-12 Carolina Hurricanes Set 1 Road Jersey worn by Mike Murphy in both of his NHL games including the game that put him into the history books. Wear is quite notable, featuring puck and stick marks, a nice team repair, post-paint transfer, and an altered logo on the rear neck of the sweater. Beyond that, this jersey has also been photomatched to Murphy's use as far back as the 2009-10 NHL Rookie Tournament, meaning that this sweater was continually reused until the 2011-12 season. Fun fact, this jersey was also worn in the 2010-11 NHL Rookie Tournament by another goalie named Mathieu Corbeil.

SHORT BIO: Born on January 15, 1989 in Kingston, Ontario, Mike Murphy was drafted 165th overall by the Carolina Hurricanes in 2008. He turned pro in 2009-10, and his pro career continued until 2014-15, seeing him play in Europe, the AHL, and the NHL.
Murphy made his NHL debut for the Canes on December 6, 2011 vs the Calgary Flames. Replacing Cam Ward for the final 8:37 of the game, Murphy stopped both shots that he faced that day. But Murphy also made odd NHL history that night. Ward was pulled after allowing 6 goals. Carolina was down 6-4 and an empty net goal was scored by Jarome Iginla. Down 7-4, the Canes then battled back to 7-6, meaning that Ward could no longer be credited with a loss. Since Murphy was in goal at that point, he was credited with the loss despite never allowing a goal. Therefore, he became the first ever NHL goalie to be credited with a loss before ever allowing a goal. His NHL career took place exclusively in 2011-12, all with the Canes. After retiring in 2015, Murphy took up coaching. In his NHL career, Mike Murphy appeared in two games and recorded an 0-1-0 record with a 0.00GAA, and a 1.000% save average. He appeared in zero playoff games. Among his career accolades include being named the OHL Goaltender of the Year (2008, 2009), and being name the CHL Goaltender of the Year (2009). |
