Early Life
Murry N. Gunty grew up in Portland, Maine, where he played hockey and followed the former Maine Mariners of the American Hockey League. He went on to earn an A.B. in economics from Harvard College and an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School, enrolling as a first-year MBA student in 1991.
Career
Gunty began his career as an analyst at The Blackstone Group, and during the 1990s served as a partner at Lazard Frères Real Estate and a general partner at Jacobson Partners. In 2015, he formed Blackstreet Capital Holdings, a private holding company he continues to lead as CEO.
Also in 2015, Gunty founded Black Bear Sports Group, a sports management company focused on ice arenas, youth hockey, junior hockey, sports facilities, events, and community access to ice sports. Under his leadership as CEO, Black Bear grew from its initial rink operations into a national platform that owns or operates close to 50 ice rinks across roughly 12 states — described as the largest such operator in the country — with junior programs including the Youngstown Phantoms (USHL), Mercer Chiefs (NCDC), and Maryland Black Bears (NAHL). In 2026, Gunty stepped down from the CEO role, with Kevin Kuby announced as his successor; Gunty remains the company's founder and continues as CEO of Blackstreet Capital Holdings.
Personal Life
A lifelong hockey player and fan, Gunty has coached and managed his sons' AA and AAA teams from Mite through Bantam and is dedicated to growing access to the game. He served as Chairman of the Board of Friends of Fort Dupont Ice Arena in Washington, D.C. — home to one of the nation's oldest minority youth hockey programs — from 2021 until his resignation from the board in 2026. In 2026 he established the Gunty Family Foundation to serve the community.
