""To see women's hockey get that recognition it deserves, obviously is a main reason why I try to do that kind of stuff," Murphy said."
""Ridiculous," said her Team USA linemate Taylor Heise, the 2024 PWHL playoff MVP. "That will be called the Murphy for literally the end of time.""
""It's called the greatest assist of all time. Abbey Murphy. 28 goals and 50 points leads the nation. #cawlidgehawkey 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 https://t.co/GnIJzHnHTW- BucciOT.Com (@Buccigross)""
Abbey Murphy, Minnesota senior captain, executed a spectacular assist in early January 2026 by flipping the puck into the air, knocking it between a defender's legs and feeding freshman Bella Fanale for an easy goal. The move was inspired by a social-media clip from summer training buddy Ryker Lee and quickly went viral, earning praise from ESPN and teammates. Murphy leads the nation with 28 goals and 50 points, declined the 2025 PWHL draft to return to Minnesota to chase a national championship, and is projected as a major breakout star for Team USA at the upcoming Olympics.
