Ottawa Senators general manager Bryan Murray will vacate his position with the franchise at the end of next season.

Murray, who announced last November that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 colon cancer, will transition into an advisory role when his contract expires at the end of next season, he told CBC's Hallie Cotnam.

"(I like the idea) of sharing some knowledge to the young people that will eventually take over here and help as much as I can rebuild this hockey team to a contending hockey team," he said.

Murray continues to undergo chemotherapy treatment, though his condition is considered terminal.

He'll be honored Thursday as the United Way Community Builder of the Year, and will use the opportunity to advocate for the testing and early detection of colon cancers.
