Ryan James Murray (born September 27, 1993) is a Canadian professional ice hockey defenceman for the Columbus Blue Jackets of the National Hockey League (NHL).
Playing career
Murray was drafted 9th overall by the Everett Silvertips at the 2008 WHL Bantam Draft. He was later named captain of his team at only eighteen years of age. On June 22, 2012, he was chosen second overall by the Columbus Blue Jackets at the 2012 NHL Entry Draft after he was ranked second among North American skaters in the NHL Central Scouting list.[1]
On November 16, 2012, Murray injured his shoulder during a game with the Silvertips. He would later undergo shoulder surgery and miss the rest of the WHL season (also making him unavailable for NHL play).[2]
Murray played his first NHL game on October 4, 2013 versus Calgary Flames. He scored his first NHL goal on October 25, 2013 against Jonathan Bernier of the Toronto Maple Leafs.[3] Murray has missed a significant amount of time due to injuries.[4]

Murray was also named to Team Canada to compete at the 2018 IIHF World Championship.[6]
