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.

🎧 Featuring: Caleb, Brad, Jason
