After being drafted to the Carolina Hurricanes, Mike spent the majority of his playing career in the AHL for the Charlotte Checkers.

​

Mike was voted to the Charlotte Checkers' 2nd All-Time Team while ranked 3rd in franchise history wins, 4th in shutouts, 2nd in shootout wins, and 6th in save percentage. In 2010-11 Mike recorded the 2nd highest single-season save percentage in franchise history and was named Checkers Man of the Year.

​

"After taking the starting job during Charlotte's inaugural AHL campaign, Mike Murphy became a cornerstone of the team and helped push his squad all the way to the Eastern Conference Finals. As voice of the Checkers Jason Shaya put it, "Murphy displayed some of the most brilliant goaltending we've seen, while defying his doubters countless times."
