Ever since minor hockey Jesus Murphy has always enjoyed a roadtrip with his hockey buddies, especially one off events or tournaments that are out of regular routine. It offers a good chance to play hockey while also getting out of the typical day to day life and enjoy new experiences with teammates. In particular, a trip to Japan gives a chance to be part of a pretty significant SHL event on top of experiencing a host of new things in a completely unfamiliar setting. This sets the table to make memories and new fans in a non-traditional hockey market that could make a great host for a new wave of fans and players to come onto the scene with this push to promote the sport. It should make for an amazing trip for Jesus and all of his teammates, and will likely be an experience each of them along with many Japanese fans will remember for life.
