NHL-LEVEL COACHING

Working with, and developing, some of the best prospects in today’s game

This season, Ryan was named the Skill Development Coordinator of the New Jersey Devils. His focus was to run “Skills Days” and work with the players on an individual/ small group basis in both New Jersey and for their AHL affiliate, Binghamton Devils.

COMMUNICATION

Ability to identify and teach players of all skill levels and ages

From mites to professionals, Murphy has worked with players looking to take their games to the next level. Being able to identify with todays’ players, regardless of age, is so crucial when working with such a wide variety of skill sets. The last 2 summers, RMHA has offered multiple small group clinics, as well as run training camps for entire organizations.

Last summer, Murphy worked with all levels (Mites to Bantams) of the Mid-Fairfield Rangers during their August training camp to prepare them for their upcoming season. At season’s end, the Rangers topped myhockeyrankings.com’s association rankings as top overall organization in the country.
