As the season approaches we have been giving you a chance to meet the new Tauros as well as learn a little more about the returning players by asking them 20 questions. We have been going in number order, yesterday we heard from Sam Fuss and today finish the series with #31 Lucas Murray. For links to all of the past Tauros 20 Questions look to the bottom of this page.
At just 6’0” tall and 160 lbs. Lucas Murray breaks the tradition of oversized Minotauros goalies. He will however look to continue the Tauros tradition of strong play which has seen 4 goaltenders over the last three season go on to play NCAA DI hockey. While he might not be as big as some of the previous Tauros keepers, he certainly is not small for the position and has already shown that his small frame holds just as much fight as the Tauros goalies of the past. For the first time in three years the Tauros will not have a 20-year-old veteran in net to lean on, Murray and fellow 19-year-old Jon Flakne will ultimately determine who the Tauros starter is with their play.
From the Coach’s Office: Lucas fought hard in main camp and earned the right to earn a roster spot in pre season. He is a tall, lanky goalie that moves well in the net. I like his compete level, and I believe he'll be a guy that will continue to get better as he gets some experience under his belt. – Head Coach Marty Murray
