Ryan Murphy back with the Rangers

It was a sweet comeback to the Kitchener Rangers for Ryan Murphy Friday night.

After starting the season with the Carolina Hurricanes in the NHL, Murphy never dressed and was sent back to the Rangers.

He told 570's Mike Farwell it was a little frustrating.

"I got a little frustrated at times, but hey, I mean I stuck it out in the press box, had a couple of hot dogs, watched some NHL games and I learned a lot from just sitting there."

Murphy had one assist last night, as the Rangers beat the defending Champs 5-3 at the Aud, and said it felt good being back on the ice.

"I had a lot of energy from sitting up there in the press box. I guess I had a couple of turnovers and I'll try not doing that this year, but I felt good and I had a lot of fun."

Murphy added that he is happy to be back in Kitchener.

"I mean the people are so great here. But it's not just the people, but the talent, I mean you go around and people are just first class people here and I really mean it when I say that. I'd like to move here when I'm older. It's a great place."

Murphy tweeted that he was on his way back to Kitchener and that it was one of his favourite Cities.
