Murphy signs with Leafs organization

Colin Murphy, captain of Michigan Tech and a Hobey Baker finalist, has signed a three-year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs, according to Fort McMurray Today, a paper in Murphy's home town.

He may start his professional career this weekend for the St. John's Maple Leafs of the AHL.

"I’ve always played hockey for this moment so it obviously feels good," said Murphy as he and his family pack up and head for their new home in Newfoundland.

Murphy will be back in the Houghton area this summer to finish his senior year of classes.
