History
A surprise first round draft pick by the Sharks out of St. Sebastien's Prep School, Morris rewarded the Sharks with a decent collegiate rookie season for Northeastern University. Although Morris missed eight games in January and early February due to a concussion suffered in practice, the right winger still managed to finish third in Northeastern scoring with nine goals and 12 assists in 26 games. Despite being on perhaps the weakest team in the Hockey East Association, Morris was named to the Hockey east All-Rookie Team, largely because Morris became a leader for the team during his freshman season, sometimes manning the point on the power play.
1st round (27th overall) 2002
2007-08: Morris missed the first 19 games of Worcester’s (AHL) season due to an injury. He recorded his first pro point, an assist, on Dec. 7 vs. Manchester. He scored his first professional goal on Dec. 18 at Lowell. He played nine games total, recording a goal and an assist, but was injured on Dec. 30 and missed the rest of the season.
Talent Analysis
Morris' main strength is that, besides needing to fill out more, the Boston-area native has no major weaknesses. With good speed and good skating skills, mixed with advanced awareness for a player his age. Appears likely to be Northeastern's next leader as Mike Ryan graduates.
