From near-paralysis and a forgotten cassette tape to the NHL draft and beyond, Mike Murray sits down with his father — former mayor Bill Murray — for a raw, inspiring look at grit, legacy, and second chances.
What happens when an average high school athlete ends up drafted into the NHL?
What happens when that same athlete sits down with his dad — a U.S. Army veteran, former mayor of Cumberland, and lifelong competitor?In this episode of Cumberland Unfiltered, Mike Murray joins the table to share how a near-death illness, a forgotten cassette tape, and years of hard-fought grit changed his life — and led to the book Chasing the Goal.
His father, Bill Murray, weighs in with his own story: from military service to Town Council to the mayor’s office. Together, their father-son dynamic cuts deep into legacy, resilience, and what it really takes to succeed — whether you're on the ice, in public office, or in life.
This one’s about perseverance, family, and refusing to quit.
