Conor Morrison

Key Statistics: Morrison finished second on the Crimson in goals (10) and fourth in points (18). He had one power-play goal and stayed out of the penalty box, racking up just two minor penalties.

What He Does: After classmate Louis Leblanc’s departure, Morrison is Harvard’s leading returning sophomore scorer in a talented class that also included forward Alex Fallstrom and defenseman Danny Biega. He doesn’t have a lot of size, but brings a bit of hockey experience. After spending three years at Northwood Prep, Morrison played two seasons for the Silver Arm SilverBacks of the BCHL.

The Bigger Picture: Harvard showed signs of excellence at times last year, but lacked consistency. Regular-season victories over the likes of Yale and Union were highlights, and a postseason series win over a veteran Princeton team might have built some momentum and confidence for this go-around. If Morrison and others can take their offensive production forward and the Crimson get better goaltending, a top-four finish is well within reach.

Morrison on getting Harvard back toward the top of ECAC Hockey: “It’s going to take a lot of hard work and I think this summer a lot of guys took it personally to come back in great shape. The ECAC had a lot of kids sign pro contracts and it should be wide open. We have a great chance to do something special.”
