MurLarkey, a leading craft distillery, proudly congratulates its
Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer, Jim
Larkin, on his induction into the prestigious Vermont Sports
Hall of Fame. This esteemed recognition celebrates Larkin's
remarkable achievements in ice hockey, highlighting his outstanding
career both on and off the ice.
"This Vermont Sports Hall of Fame induction
is a great honor. In hockey as in life, success isn't solo.
Teammates, mentors, family and coaches all contribute. At
MurLarkey, teamwork and passion come first, driven by humility,
gratitude, and hard work." - Jim
Larkin
Growing up in Vermont,
Jim Larkin's journey in hockey began
with an exceptional tenure at Mount St. Joseph Academy in
Rutland. His transition from
Vermont Division II high school hockey to NCAA Division I at the
University of Vermont showcased his
immense talent and dedication to the sport.
During his illustrious four-year tenure at UVM, Larkin left an
indelible mark, setting records and earning accolades. With 47
goals and 71 assists, totaling 128 points, he emerged as one of the
state's top collegiate scorers, surpassing even esteemed players
like John LeClair. His contributions
to UVM's Division I hockey program earned him recognition as he
consistently demonstrated prowess on the ice.
His draft by the Los Angeles Kings in the 1988 NHL Entry Draft
further underscored his talent and potential. Larkin's achievements
extended beyond collegiate play, as he represented the United States at the international level,
showcasing his skills at the 1990 World Junior Championships in
Helsinki, Finland.
Following his collegiate career, Larkin continued to excel in
hockey, playing professionally for five years across four minor
league teams. His remarkable performance, including scoring 50
goals in his final season with Lakeland in the Southern Hockey
League, solidified his legacy in the sport.
Beyond his accomplishments in hockey, Jim Larkin's dedication and leadership have been
instrumental in shaping MurLarkey into the thriving enterprise it
is today. As Co-Founder and COO, Larkin brings the same passion and
commitment to the distillery industry as he did to the ice
rink.
The induction of Jim Larkin into
the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame is a testament to his enduring
impact and legacy in the realm of athletics. MurLarkey proudly
celebrates this milestone achievement, recognizing Jim's
contributions to both sports and business.
"In hockey, as in life, success is never achieved alone. Along
this journey I've been blessed with incredible teammates, mentors,
coaches and supporters who've guided and inspired me every step of
the way. This induction into the Vermont Sports Hall of Fame is a
humbling honor that I share with all those who've believed in me
along the way. It's a recognition not just of personal
achievements, but of the collective effort and dedication of
everyone who's been a part of my story. At MurLarkey, we strive for
excellence every day, knowing that true success comes not from
individual accolades, but from the strength of our team and the
passion we bring to our craft. This honor only fuels our commitment
to continue pushing boundaries and to always remember the values of
humility, gratitude, and hard work that have brought us this far."
