Senators GM Bryan Murray a winner on and off the ice

Bryan Murray was front and centre Thursday night.

This time, the Senators' GM was being honoured by the United Way as community builder of the year during a dinner at the Shaw Centre in downtown Ottawa, partially because of his selfless act to go public about his battle with Stage 4 colon cancer last November.

Last month, he was inducted into the Washington, D.C. Sports Hall of Fame during a Nationals baseball game. The city where he started his NHL coaching career back in 1981. He was among 13 inductees -- including Capitals' and Wizards owner Ted Leonsis -- that will have their name hang on a banner at the Nationals' ballpark.
