Playing career

Minor

Morrow played minor hockey in his hometown of Carlyle, Saskatchewan and in the nearby community of Estevan.[1] Despite putting up impressive numbers in his final year of bantam hockey (117 goals, 72 assists in 60 games),[2] Morrow was not selected in the WHL Bantam Draft, and instead walked-on with the Portland Winter Hawks.[3]

Junior

Morrow spent his entire junior career with the Portland Winter Hawks. In his rookie WHL season, Morrow played in 65 games and recorded 25 points (13 goals and 12 assists).[2] Later in his junior career, Morrow contributed more offensively and in his final 3 seasons in the WHL, he scored 88, 86 and 85 points respectively. After the 1996–97 WHL Season, Morrow was selected by the Dallas Stars in the first round (25th overall) of the 1997 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2] During the 1997–98 WHL Season, Morrow helped the Winter Hawks capture the Memorial Cup.[2][4] During the Memorial Cup tournament, Morrow scored one goal and added two assists in four games.[2] Morrow represented the Western Conference in the WHL's All-Star classic three times (1997, 1998, 1999).[5] After the 1998–99 season, Morrow was named to the WHL's Western Conference First All-Star Team and also to the CHL Third All-Star Team.[6]

Morrow spent most of his career with the Dallas Stars.

Professional

Morrow started his professional career in 1999. He split the 1999–2000 season between the NHL's Dallas Stars and the Michigan K-Wings of the International Hockey League.[2] He played his first game with the Stars on November 18, 1999 against the Philadelphia Flyers, and recorded his first points (a goal and an assist) on November 22, 1999 against the Colorado Avalanche.[1] After this season, Morrow was named the team's Rookie of the Year.[7]

After his rookie campaign with the Stars, Morrow became a fixture in the Dallas lineup, playing at least 70 games in each season until 2006–07, when he missed 33 games after suffering severed tendons in his wrist.[5] He bounced back with a strong 2007–08 season, where he played in all 82 games, but a knee injury (ACL tear) limited him to just 18 games in the 2008–09 season.[8] He has often played through injuries including returning to the ice with a broken bone in his ankle during the 1999–2000 Stanley Cup Playoffs.[9]

Morrow played in the NHL YoungStars game at the 2002 NHL All-Star Game which was held in Los Angeles, California, where he scored a goal and added an assist.[5] During the 2001–02 NHL season, he recorded his 100th career NHL point against the San Jose Sharks.[8] He recorded his 300th career NHL point against the Chicago Blackhawks during the 2006–07 NHL season.[8]

During the NHL lockout of 2004–05, Morrow signed a contract with the Oklahoma City Blazers of the Central Hockey League and played in 19 games.[5]

Prior to the 2006–07 NHL season, Morrow was named the captain of the Stars, after the team asked incumbent captain Mike Modano to step down from the position. The Stars wanted to reward Morrow for his commitment to the team, after he bypassed free agency to sign a long-term (6 year) contract with the team.[10] The Stars also felt the need to shift some leadership responsibilities to younger members of the team.[10] Morrow's teammates and coaches greatly admire his dedication to the team, and believe he is an ideal choice to fill the role.[9]

Heading into the 2009–10 NHL season, Morrow ranked 14th on the all-time scoring list for the Stars' franchise.[8] He has a knack for scoring big goals, as evidenced by his scoring 3 of the team's last 4 overtime winning goals in the playoffs.[8]

Morrow was injured often during the 2011–12 NHL Season. He missed 25 games because of shoulder and upper back injuries, including 18 matches in the beginning of 2012.[11][12] Morrow was finally back in March when the Stars activated him from injure reserve on March 9.[13]

On March 24, 2013, Morrow was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for Joe Morrow (no relation) and the Penguins' 2013 fifth-round draft pick. The Penguins also received a third round pick from Dallas in this trade.[14]

Morrow's first international experience with Hockey Canada was at the 1995 World U17 Hockey Challenge in Moncton, New Brunswick, where he played for Team West and finished 4th.[1] He was selected to Canada's team at the 1999 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships, which were held in Winnipeg, Manitoba.[1] During the tournament, Morrow scored 1 goal and recorded 7 assists in 7 games.[2] During this tournament, Morrow set a Canadian World Junior record, with 5 assists in a game against Kazakhstan.[15] Canada finished the tournament with the silver medal after losing to Russia in overtime during the gold medal game.[1][2]

Morrow has also represented Canada at the senior men's level, playing in the World Championships four times (2001, 2002, 2004, 2005) after his NHL season was over.[1] In these four tournaments, he did not score a goal for Canada, but chipped in with 5 assists.[2] In 2004, Morrow helped Canada to a gold medal and in 2005 they captured the silver medal.[1] Morrow played in a single game for Canada at the 2004 World Cup of Hockey, where Canada captured the championship.[1]

Morrow was invited to Canada's summer evaluation camp prior to the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, but was not selected for the final squad.[16] In August 2009, Morrow participated in Hockey Canada's summer orientation camp prior to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada.[16] After a strong start to the 2009–10 NHL season, Morrow was selected as a member of Canada's Olympic Men's Hockey Team.[17][18] Morrow was selected to the team to provide toughness and grit.[19] As the tournament progressed, Morrow found himself playing a larger role on a physical line with Ryan Getzlaf and Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks.[20] Morrow finished the tournament with 2 goals and an assist,[21] as Canada captured the gold medal with an overtime victory against the United States.[22]

Personal

Morrow is the son-in-law of former Montreal Canadiens coach and former Dallas Stars teammate Guy Carbonneau, having married Carbonneau's daughter Anne-Marie on 20 July 2002.[23] They have three children, a daughter, Bryelle, and twins; son Brody, and daughter Mallory, born May 11, 2008.[24][25]
