World Police and Fire Games with a gold medal. Murphy was a part of the team Canada`s Finest, which competed in the Novice Ice Hockey division.

Murphy said this year`s edition of the games, taking place in Rotterdam, Netherlands, was supposed to happen in 2021, but was postponed to this year due to covid 19. He was asked the join the team in 2019 by a former boss, Cpl. John Nash, who now works in Newfoundland and serves as the team`s player/manager.
