OTTAWA - The Ottawa Senators (@Senators) confirmed today that former general manager and beloved hockey man Bryan Murray passed away this morning at the age of 74, surrounded by his family and friends.
"Bryan was one of the greatest men that the game of hockey has ever known and also a great father, mentor and teacher," said Senators owner Eugene Melnyk. "We extend our sincere condolences to his wife, Geri, daughters, Heide and Brittany and the entire Murray family on their loss."
