Brendan Morrison (born August 15, 1975) is a Canadian professional ice hockey centre and is currently a free agent.
Morrison played most recently for the Chicago Blackhawks of the National Hockey League (NHL). He has previously
played in the NHL for the New Jersey Devils, Vancouver Canucks, Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Washington Capitals and
Calgary Flames.
Morrison was selected 39th overall in the 1993 NHL Entry Draft by the Devils after a season in the British Columbia Junior
Hockey League (BCJHL); he had won rookie of the year honours for the Interior Conference as a member of the PentictonPanthers. Following his draft, he joined the college hockey ranks with the Michigan Wolverines of the Central Collegiate

Devils before being traded to the Vancouver Canucks in March 2000. He played seven full seasons with the Canucks, which
included a club record 534 consecutive regular season games played. As a member of the team's West Coast Express line
(with Markus Naslund and Todd Bertuzzi), Morrison enjoyed the most successful years of his career, posting three
consecutive 60-point seasons. During the 200405 NHL lockout, he played one season with Linkpings HC of the Swedish
Elite League. Beginning in 2008, he played stints with the Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars and Washington Capitals before

Playing career
Amateur career (199297)
Morrison played one season with the Penticton Panthers of the British Columbia Junior Hockey League (BCJHL) in 199293, recording 94 points (35 goals and 59
assists) over 56 games. He ranked second in team scoring, behind Marcel Sakac, [1] and was awarded the Bruce Allison Memorial Trophy as the Interior Conference's
rookie of the year.[notes 1] In the off-season, Morrison was selected by the New Jersey Devils 39th overall in the 2nd round of the 1993 NHL Entry Draft.
Upon being drafted, he joined the Michigan Wolverines of the Central Collegiate Hockey Association (CCHA). He had also been approached by the Denver Pioneers
and the Maine Black Bears to join their school teams, but ultimately chose Michigan. [3] Registering 48 points (20 goals and 28 assists) over 38 games as a freshman,
Morrison was named the CCHA Rookie of the Year for the 199394 season.[4] He played on a line with fellow freshman Jason Botterill; the two played together
throughout their college career.[5] In the 1994 playoffs, he helped the Wolverines to a CCHA championship. Playing in his sophomore year (199495), Morrison
improved to 76 points (23 goals and 43 assists) over 39 games and received his first of three consecutive CCHA First Team All-Star selections. [4]
With 72 points over 45 games in 199596, Morrison received his first of back-to-back CCHA Player of the Year awards.[4]
He added 15 points in 7 post-season games
to capture his second CCHA championship with the Wolverines. Advancing to the 1996 NCAA Tournament, Michigan advanced to the final against the Colorado
College Tigers. Morrison scored the championship-winning goal 3 minutes and 35 seconds into overtime to win the game 32. It was the Wolverines' first national title
in 32 years.[6] Michigan's championship-winning team that year included five future NHL players Morrison, Botterill, Blake Sloan, John Madden, Marty Turco, and
Bill Muckalt.[3]
In addition to receiving NCAA Tournament MVP honours, Morrison was named to the NCAA West Regional and NCAA Tournament All-American
Teams.[4]
Morrison was named team captain in his senior year.[3] He totalled college personal bests that season of 31 goals, 57 assists and 88 points over 43 games, culminating in
a Hobey Baker Award as the NCAA's most outstanding player; Morrison had been a finalist for the award the previous two years. [7] The Wolverines repeated as CCHA
champions, but lost to the Boston University Terriers in the NCAA semifinal. Morrison completed his four-year college career as the Wolverines' all-time points leader
with 284, surpassing Denny Felsner. His points total also ranked seventh all-time among NCAA players.

Morrison played the majority of his
career with the Canucks.
Morrison in 2005 with Vancouver
Prior to the Devils' training camp, Morrison was signed by the team to a multi-year contract on September 9, 1997. [8] He was seen as an unlikely candidate to secure a
roster spot with the Devils; ahead of Morrison on the depth chart were numerous centres, including Doug Gilmour, Bobby Holik and Petr Sykora. [9] As such, he played
the majority of the 199798 season in the American Hockey League (AHL) with the Devils' minor league affiliate, the Albany River Rats. He scored 35 goals and 84
points over 72 games in the AHL, ranking first in team scoring and eighth in the league overal l.[10] He finished second among league rookies in scoring, eight points
behind Daniel Briere of the Springfield Falcons,[10] and was named to the AHL All-Rookie Team.[4] His AHL season included a five-goal game against the Hartford
Wolfpack on April 1, 1998; two of his goals came short handed into an empty net, as part of a 52 Albany win. The feat was one goal shy of the AHL's single-game
record.[11]
Morrison also made his NHL debut during the 199798 season. He was called up to the Devils in December 1997 as a replacement for winger John MacLean, who had
been informally suspended by genera l manager Lou Lamoriello after request ing to be traded. Playing in his first NHL game on December 4, 1997, Morrison scored
against goaltender Tom Barasso in a 40 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins.[12]
He received a second call-up in April 1998.[13]
Competing in 11 NHL games, hefinished the season with 5 goals and 4 assists.
The following season, he secured a full-time roster spot with the Devils. With Doug Gilmour having left the team as a free agent in the 1998 off-season, Morrison was
expected to help fill the void at centre.[14] His 46 points (13 goals and 33 assists) over 76 games finished second among league rookies behind Milan Hejduk of the
Colorado Avalanche.[15] He ranked fifth in Calder Memorial Trophy voting as the league's rookie of the year with one first-place ballot (the award was given to the
Avalanche's Chris Drury).[16]
Becoming a restricted free agent in the off-season, Morrison was given a one-year qualifying offer with a reported value of approximately US$500,000. With the Devils
unwilling to increase their offer, he left in September 1999 for Teb, Czech Republic, where fellow Devils restricted free agent Patrik Elias was also holding out. [17]
While overseas, Morrison and Elias played for Czech teams SK Horck Slavia Teb and HC Pardubice as they waited for contract negotiations to resume. Morrison
was pointless in two games with Trebic and recorded seven points in five games with Pardubice. On October 24, 1999, Morrison and Elias agreed to new contracts with
the Devils.[18] After recording 26 points over 44 games with the Devils, he was traded to the Vancouver Canucks on March 14, 2000. Morrison was dealt alongside
centre Denis Pederson in exchange for winger Alexander Mogilny. Both Morrison and Pederson were struggling offensively and were unhappy with their roles on the
team.[19]
Vancouver Canucks (200008)
Morrison finished the 19992000 season with 9 points in 12 games with the Canucks for a combined total of 35 points in 56
games. In the off-season, he re-signed with the Canucks. [20] Playing in his first full season with the Canucks in 200001,
Morrison improved to 54 points (16 goals and 38 assists) over 82 games. He helped the team reach the post-season for the first
time since 1996, as Vancouver secured the eighth and final seed in the Western Conference. Facing the Colorado Avalanche in
the first round, the Canucks were swept in four games. [21] Morrison scored his first NHL playoff goal during the series and
finished with three points in four games. [22]
The 200102 campaign marked the beginning of what was widely considered to be the most effective line combination in the
NHL for several years.[23][24][25][26] During a game on January 9, 2002, Morrison replaced Andrew Cassels as the centreman on
the team's first line with wingers Markus Naslund and Todd Bertuzzi. [25] He went on to record his three best statistical seasons in
the NHL while playing with the two wingers. The latter two finished second and third in NHL scoring in 200102, [27] while
Morrison tallied 23 goals and 67 points over 82 games. [22] Morrison's playmaking ability complemented his wingers' goal-
scoring prowess.[25] Together, they were known for playing a fast and entertaining style; [24][25] as a result, head coach Marc
Crawford implemented a highly offensive coaching strategy.[28] The trio were dubbed the "West Coast Express", named after
Vancouver's commuter rail service of the same name.[23]
Despite finishing as the NHL's top-scoring team,[29] the Canucks entering the 2002 playoffs as the eighth seed in the West for thesecond consecutive season. Facing the Detroit Red Wings in the opening round, they were eliminated in six games. [21] Morrison
notched two assists during the series.[22] After initially failing to come to terms on a new contract with the Canucks in the off-
season, Morrison filed for arbitration. He won his hearing and was awarded a two-year, US$4.6 million contract on August 3,
2002, more than doubling his previous year's salary of US$775,000.[30]
The following season, Morrison recorded career-highs with 25 goals 46 assists and 71 points in 82 games. [22] He ranked 26th in NHL point-scoring, while Nslund and
Bertuzzi finished second and fifth, respectively.[31] He helped the Canucks come within a point of the Northwest Division title, entering the 2003 playoffs as the fourth
seed in the West.[32] After eliminating the St. Louis Blues in the opening round, they were defeated by the Minnesota Wild in a seven-game second round series. [21]
Morrison had a career-high 4 goals, 7 assists and 11 points over 14 post-season games. [22]
In 200304, Morrison registered 22 goals and 60 points over 82 games as all members of the Canucks' top line experienced declines in offensive production. [22][33][34]
Bertuzzi was replaced on Morrison's wing after he was suspended indefinitely by the league for sucker punching Steve Moore in a game against the Avalanche in March
2004; he was replaced on the Canucks' top line by Matt Cooke. [35] Nonetheless, the Canucks won their first ever Northwest Division title and went into the 2004
playoffs as the West's third seed.[21] Facing elimination in game six of the opening round against the Calgary Flames, Morrison scored there minutes into the contest's
third overtime session to force a seventh game. Having skated from the corner boards with the puck, Morrison stickhandled across the net and scored past Calgary
goaltender Miikka Kiprusoff.[36] The Canucks were then eliminated in game seven; Morrison finished the playoff season with five points. [22] Becoming a restricted free
agent in the off-season, he filed for salary arbitration against the Canucks for the second time in two years. Both sides managed to avoid their hearing by agreeing to a
one-year deal on July 27, 2004.[37]
In lieu of the 200405 NHL lockout, Morrison went overseas to play in the Swedish Elite League, signing with Linkpings HC
on September 15, 2004.[22] With 44 points (16 goals and 29 assists) over 45 games, he ranked second in team scoring (behind
Kristian Huselius) and sixth in league scoring.[38][39] After finishing with the second-best regular season in the SEL,[40] Linkping
was eliminated in the first round by Sdertlje.[41]
With NHL play set to resume the next season, Morrison re-signed with the Canucks at US$9.6 million over three years. [42]
Morrison suffered a torn labrum in his hip in December 2005, but chose to play through the injury. [43] He finished the season
with 19 goals and 56 points over 82 games in 200506, [22] as the Canucks failed to qualify for the playoffs. [21] Head coach Marc
Crawford recalled that by the end of the season, the line of Morrison, Bertuzzi and Naslund had been surpassed as the top unit by
Daniel and Henrik Sedin.[44] In the off-season, Morrison underwent surgery for his hip injury and missed two months of workout
and conditioning while recovering.[43] Also in the summer, Bertuzzi was traded to the Florida Panthers, marking the end of the
West Coast Express line.[33]
Morrison's hip continued to hinder his play in 200607, contributing to a slow start early in the season.
[43]
Later in the campaign,he set a Canucks record for consecutive regular season games played (colloquially known as an "ironman streak"); he had not
missed a contest since arriving to the team from New Jersey. Playing against the Los Angeles Kings on February 22, 2007, he
surpassed Trevor Linden's old club record of 482 consecutive games played (his overall streak was at 491 games, including eight
contests played with the Devils prior to his trade). [43] Three days later, he became the league's active ironman when Avalanche defenceman Karlis Skrastins was forced

to miss a game with a knee injury. Skrastins had played in 495 consecutive games, while Morrison had 492 at the time. [45] Offensively, he finished the year with his
sixth consecutive 50-point season in the NHL with 20 goals and 31 assists over 82 games. [22] The Canucks returned to the post-season and advanced to the second
round, where they were eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks. [21] Morrison recorded 4 points in 12 playoff games. [22]
Morrison began the 200708 season with a minor wrist injury suffered during a game during the pre-season; he chose to play through the injury for months. He
extended his ironman streak to 542 games before opting for wrist surgery on December 12, 2007. [46] The streak, which had begun on February 27, 2000 with the Devils,
was the eleventh longest in NHL history, 404 games short of Doug Jarvis' NHL record. Morrison was succeeded as the league's active ironman by Flames defenceman
Cory Sarich, who had played in 419 consecutive games at the time of Morrison's injury. [47] His Canucks record of 534 consecutive games played was later surpassed by
Henrik Sedin on December 26, 2011 (the game in which Sedin tied the record was played between the Canucks and Morrison's Calgary Flames). [48][49] After undergoing
wrist surgery in December 2007, Morrison returned to the Canucks lineup in February 2008, having missed 38 games. [22] The following month, Morrison tore the ACL
in his right knee during a game on March 28, forcing him to miss the remaining four contests of the regular season. [22] He underwent knee surgery 10 days later.[50]Limited to 39 games due to his injuries, Morrison recorded 9 goals and 25 points in 200708. [22] The Canucks finished out of the playoffs for the second time in three
seasons.[21]
Becoming an unrestricted free agent in the off-season, Morrison ended his career with the Canucks ninth overall on the team's all-time scoring list with 393 points in
543 games.[51]
Post-Vancouver (2008present)
Morrison signed with the Anaheim Ducks to a one-year, US$2.75 million contract on July 7, 2008. [52] He had received interest
from as many as nine NHL teams, including the Canucks, who offered a one-year, US$1.9 million deal prior to Morrison's free
agency.[53] Morrison scored his first goal as a Duck on November 7, in a 52 loss to the Dallas Stars. [54] While it was hoped he
could be a replacement for Andy McDonald as the team's second-line centre, Morrison struggled in his short tenure with the
Ducks. He was relegated to the fourth line and made a healthy scratch at various points in the season. [55][56] It was proposed by
the media that he was not yet playing at full capacity on account of his off-season knee surgery. [56] With 22 points in 62 games,
he was waived by the Ducks leading up to the trade deadline on March 3, 2009. [55] He was claimed the following day by the
Dallas Stars.[57] He scored his first goal with the Stars on March 12, the game-winner in a 32 contest against the Carolina
Hurricanes.[58] Morrison's 200809 total of 31 points between the Ducks and Stars was the lowest output of his career (not
including the previous season's injury-shortened campaign and his 11-game 199798 season). [22]
In the off-season, he was signed as an unrestricted free agent by the Washington Capitals to a one-year, US$1.5 million contract
on July 10, 2009.[59] He registered his first goal as a Capital in the team's home opener, a 64 victory over the Toronto Maple
Leafs on October 3, 2009.[60] In the final two months of the season, Morrison missed six games due to a leg injury. [22] He
finished the campaign with 42 points in 74 games with the Capitals, his highest total in three years. [22] Returning in time for the
2010 playoffs, he registered one assists in five games as the top-seeded Capitals were eliminated by the Montreal Canadiens in
the first round.[61]
Becoming an unrestricted free agent for the third consecutive year in July 2010, Morrison did not initially receive any offers. As
a result, he accepted a tryout with the Vancouver Canucks and attended the team's training camp in Penticton, British Columbia.[62] At the conclusion of the pre-season, the Canucks offered Morrison a two-way contract, which he turned down. [63] The
following day, on October 4, 2010, Morrison was signed by the Calgary Flames to a one-year, one-way contract worth US$725,000. The Flames had signed Morrison in
lieu of numerous injuries at the centre position on their roster. [64] He scored his first goal as a Flame on October 16, in a 53 win against the Edmonton Oilers. [65] After
recording 43 points in 66 games, Morrison suffered a season-ending injury in March 2011. [22] He hurt his left knee in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks when
opposing defenceman Niklas Hjalmarsson pinned him against the end-boards. At the time of the injury, Morrison was leading the Flames with a plus-minus rating of+13 while centring the team's top line with Jarome Iginla and Alex Tanguay. [66] On July 15, 2011, Morrison came to terms with the Flames on a one-year deal worth
$1.25 million US.[67]
On January 27, 2012 Morrison was traded to the Chicago Blackhawks for defenseman Brian Connelly.
International play
Morrison debuted with the Canadian national team at the 2000 IIHF World Championship in St. Petersburg, Russia. He
was joined on the team by four other Canucks Todd Bertuzzi, Adrian Aucoin, Ed Jovanovski and Peter Schaefer. [68]
Scoring a goal and three assists over seven games, [22] he helped Canada reach the bronze medal game, where they were
defeated 21 by Finland.[69] Morrison ranked sixth in team point-scoring and tied for first with Aucoin with a plus-
minus rating of +7.[70]
Four years later, Morrison was selected again to the Canadian team for the 2004 IIHF World Championship in Prague
and Ostrava, Czech Republic. He was one of two Canucks players on the roster with Matt Cooke. [71] In the gold medal
game, Morrison registered an assist, helping Canada to a 53 win over Sweden. [72] With seven points in nine games,
Morrison ranked third in team scoring, behind Dany Heatley and Daniel Briere. [73]
Morrison made his second consecutive tournament appearance at the 2005 IIHF World Championship in Vienna and Innsbruck, Austria. He was named to the team
alongside Canucks teammate Ed Jovanovski.[74] Due to the 200405 NHL lockout, all NHL players were available to participate as there was no timing conflict with the
Stanley Cup playoffs. Reaching the gold medal game for the second consecutive year, Canada was shut out by the Czech national team 30. [75] Morrison ranked third on
the team in goal-scoring with four; he had no assists. [76]
Several months later, Morrison was invited to Team Canada's Olympic Orientation Camp in August 2005 a part of the selection process for the 2006 Winter Olympics
in Turin, Italy. He was a late addition, replacing Mario Lemieux, who chose not to attend due to commitments with his club team, the Pittsburgh Penguins. [77] Morrison
was not chosen to the final roster.
Personal life
Morrison was born in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, to Ron and Deborah Morrison. [78] He has a sister named Jennifer.[79] His parents had moved to Pitt Meadows
from Windsor, Ontario, in the 1970s.[78] Ron coached his son on minor hockey teams, before Morrison moved away from home at age 17 to play junior hockey in
Penticton, British Columbia.[79]
Morrison and his wife, Erin, have one son, Brayden, and three daughters, Makenna, Kailyn, and Taylor. [80] During his career with the Vancouver Canucks, Morrison
resided year-round with his family in Coquitlam, British Columbia.[81] He spent a year living with his family in Newport Beach, California, during his stint with the
Anaheim Ducks.[50]
