The Massachusetts Hockey Hall of Fame

07/10/2000

When all the inductees of the 1972 United States Olympic Hockey team was contacted they said, we have to have Coach Murray inducted with us, as we would not have been chosen for the team without him.  

Coach Murray Williamson, not from Massachusetts, actually from Canada, but first naturalized, then inducted into the Massachusetts Hall of Fame along with the 1972 Olympic Silver Medalis Hockey team.  Coach Williamson guided this unforseen force to beat all odds and bring home the silver.  That team compiled an impressive domestic record of  60 wins, 6 losses, and 4 ties. 

Murray Williamson recognized and honored for coaching

• U.S National Hockey Team, 1967 Vienna
• U.S. Olympic Hockey Team, 1968 Grenoble
• U.S. National Hockey Team, 1971 Bern, Geneva
• U.S Olympic Hockey Team, 1972 Silver Medal - Sapporo
