Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2008-09: Played for the USNTDP, posting 59 points in 55 games. Had six goals and four assists in seven games as Team USA won gold at the 2009 U18 World Championship. Morin was drafted in the 2nd round, 45th overall, of the 2009 NHL Draft by the Atlanta Thrashers.
2009-10: Morin made his OHL debut with the Kitchener Rangers, appearing in 58 regular season games with 47 goals, 36 assists for 83 points. The forward also earned 76 PIMs during the regular season. He scored 12 goals and 9 assists for 21 points in 20 postseason games for the Rangers. Morin was a top offensive option for his U20 team at the World Junior Championships, scoring 2 goals and 5 assists in 7 games en route to a gold medal for the United States.
2010-11: Morin made his pro debut, skating in 9 NHL games with the Blackhawks and scoring 2 goals, 1 assist. The majority of his season was spent with Rockford in the AHL, where he scored 8 goals, 4 assists for 12 points in 22 games. Expected to be a goal-scoring weapon as a returning player for the U.S. at the WJC, he was knocked out by injury for two games early on and finished the tournament with just 1 assist in 4 games. Three games into his return to Rockford, Morin landed awkwardly on his head and neck area and did not return to the ice for the remainder of the year.
Talent Analysis
A goal scorer at heart, Morin attempts creative maneuvers with the puck. He's just a bit slow putting things together and may not be as successful at higher levels. Skating is not his strong suit, but is much improved from his draft year. He is committed to the physical game, regularly finishing his checks and willing to stand up for his teammates.
Future
A potential top six goal-scoring winger, Morin will challenge for a roster spot in Chicago at training camp but could see more ice time in the AHL with Rockford.
