OTTAWA -- As a teenager from the Ottawa Valley town of Shawville, west of Canada's capital and across the Ottawa River in Quebec, Bryan Murray would travel into "the city" to play hockey.
Murray, 15 at the time, played for the Shawville Pontiacs in a Senior A hockey league, competing against and playing with men 20 years older. They played at the old Auditorium when they visited Ottawa, a building long gone now.
Almost 57 years later and a few blocks away from where the old Auditorium used to stand, Murray will be inducted into the Ottawa Sports Hall of Fame on Friday.
