Winnipeg Blue Bombers 宣布，已故的 Cal Murphy 將成為第 18 位入選該組織榮譽環的人員。
Main Body
This induction recognizes Murphy's important work as both head coach and general manager from 1983 to 1996. During his time with the team, his leadership helped the franchise win three Grey Cup championships. Furthermore, Murphy won two CFL Coach of the Year awards and earned a total of nine Grey Cup titles throughout his career, including time spent with Edmonton and Montreal. Consequently, he holds the third-highest number of wins in the club's history, following only Bud Grant and Mike O’Shea.
此次入選是對 Murphy 在 1983 年至 1996 年期間，同時擔任總教練與總經理之重要貢獻的認可。在他效力球隊期間，他的領導力幫助球隊贏得了三次蓋杯冠軍。此外，Murphy 曾兩次獲得 CFL 年度最佳教練獎，且在整個職業生涯中（包括在 Edmonton 與 Montreal 的時間）共贏得九次蓋杯冠軍。因此，他的勝場數在球隊歷史上排名第三，僅次於 Bud Grant 與 Mike O’Shea。
The team has honored Murphy's legacy in several ways before this latest award. For instance, he entered the Winnipeg Football Club Hall of Fame in 2002 and the Canadian Football Hall of Fame in 2004. Additionally, the club created the Cal Murphy Heart of a Legend Award in 2001 and put up a statue at Princess Auto Stadium in 2017. The official ceremony will take place during halftime on July 30 against the BC Lions, making Murphy only the second head coach to receive this honor.
在這次獲獎之前，球隊已透過多種方式紀念 Murphy 的遺產。例如，他於 2002 年入選 Winnipeg Football Club 名人堂，並於 2004 年入選加拿大足球名人堂。此外，球隊於 2001 年設立了 "Cal Murphy Heart of a Legend Award"，並於 2017 年在 Princess Auto Stadium 豎立了一座雕像。正式儀式將於 7 月 30 日對陣 BC Lions 的中場休息時間舉行，這使得 Murphy 成為第二位獲得此項榮譽的總教練。
Conclusion
Cal Murphy will be officially welcomed into the Ring of Honour on July 30.
Cal Murphy 將於 7 月 30 日正式入選榮譽環。
