Bryan Murray is characteristically humble when asked about the latest honour to come his way.
On Thursday, the 72-year-old Murray will receive the United Way's most prestigious honour as Community Builder of the Year at its annual gala.
"(The honour) has to do with the team, the organization, the Sens Foundation. What the Senators mean to the city," said Murray.
"I think I'm a representative of the team more than anything."
But the United Way isn't recognizing Murray for his contributions to the hockey club, or its many charitable arms extending their reach into the community.
