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 β 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 β 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 mayorβs office. Together, their father-son dynamic cuts deep into legacy, resilience, and what it really takes to succeed β whether you're on the ice, in public office, or in life.
This oneβs about perseverance, family, and refusing to quit.
