Event Description

Dare to Dream Girls Hockey Camp

Camp Director: Digit Murphy Head Coach at Brown University. As she enters the 20th season of a legendary career, head coach Digit Murphy remains as competitive and committed to winning as she has been throughout her career. "The biggest thing for me is winning," Murphy said. "That's really all I care about right now, and I'll do whatever it takes to make my team successful."

As Brown Bears fans know, when Coach Murphy puts her mind to something she usually makes it happen. During the 2006-07 season, she became the winningest coach in Division I women's hockey history, picking up her 300th win later in the year. Her teams have made it to the national semifinals four times, playing for the National Championship three times. She has coached Olympians and All-Americans, and captured numerous ECAC and Ivy League titles. However, Murphy will also be the first to tell you that her job is about more than success on the ice. "Looking back, I don't remember the score of every game," Murphy told ESPN in an interview after breaking the all-time wins record. "But I remember the notes that former players have written to me, telling me how much Brown hockey meant to them. That's why I coach. My advice to new coaches is simple: be a sponge. Learn from everyone you can. Work your butt off. In this field, if you don't love it, you can't do it."

As the coach for the oldest collegiate women's hockey team in the United States, Murphy's knowledge of the game and passion for coaching is evident. Brown's success can be attributed to the "team first" philosophy that Murphy has instituted and continues to seek in Brown recruits. "Brown is an academic institution and we approach our team philosophy in the same way. Our kids learn life lessons through athletics," Murphy says. Incoming freshmen understand this philosophy clearly when they are recruited and continue this trademark of relentless, tireless work ethic as part of their Brown experience and into their future life experiences.

• Murphy maintains a winning record on all accounts, currently at 306-179-48 overall, 105-69-18 in the Ivy League and 217-114-31 in the ECAC.
