He also founded Roller Hockey International and World Team Tennis. [2] The Global Hockey League, his 1990 venture as another league to compete with the NHL, never got off the ground. At some point, he briefly served as the mayor of Buena Park, California. HonoursFrom 1973 and 1979, the Dennis A. Murphy Trophy was presented to the best defenceman of the World Hockey Association.[3] In 2010, Murphy was part of the initial group of individuals elected to the World Hockey Association Hall of Fame.[4] References1. ^http://www.fullertonstories.com/people/murph-the-sports-entrepreneur-man {{DEFAULTSORT:Murphy, Dennis}}{{US-business-bio-1920s-stub}}2. ^Meet the American Sports Legend and Pioneer You've Probably Never Heard Of | The Reno Dispatch 3. ^WHAhockey.com - Awards and Individual Stats 4. ^WHA Hall of Fame Members 4 : American sports businesspeople|1926 births|Living people|20th-century American businesspeople |
