Ben Murphy enters his second season as the Friars' associate head coach. He works closely with the forwards and power-play unit. In his first season, Murphy helped guide Reichen Kirchmair to Hockey East Player of the Year honors and the league scoring title. Audrey Knapp and Kirchmair each tallied a conference-leading 15 goals, earning Hockey East First Team All-Star honors, with Kirchmair as the only unanimous selection.
With 16 seasons of collegiate coaching experience, Murphy came to Providence College after a stint with RPI’s women’s hockey program in 2023-24. Prior to RPI, Murphy had two stints with the men’s hockey program at Bentley University (2009-19 & 2022-23) and spent three seasons with the St. Lawrence men’s program from 2019-22.
At Bentley, Murphy helped guide the Falcons to a program record for wins in a season (19 in 2013-14) and a program record eight-game winning streak during the 2018-19 campaign. Murphy also helped Bentley to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in program history in 2013-14 and 2014-15.15
He helped recruit the program's first NHL Draft pick, seven of Bentley's 100-plus career points scorers, the program's leader in all major goaltending statistical categories, and the all-time leading scorer for defensemen in school history.
Murphy’s three-year tenure at St. Lawrence included an ECAC Hockey title in 2020-21. He was pivotal in recruiting for the Saints as well as working with the forwards in both skill development and situational/tactical development. He also handled the team's power play, coordinated pre-scouting reports and helped coordinate program out-reach and community service.
Murphy began his coaching career as an assistant with the Wichita Thunder of the CHL (2006-08) and Castleton State College (2008-09). He was a four-year member of the hockey program at the University of Maine (2001-05) where he helped lead the Black Bears to four NCAA Tournament berths, including two appearances in the national championship game in 2002 and 2005.
