A few posts back I linked an article from Paul Friesen about Kyle Connor, the Winnipeg Jets rookie, who although has been recently sent to the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League for playing time and to retrieve his confidence and scoring touch, I believed was going to turn some heads this season. Connor did enough to make the opening night roster, but had only scored one goal in 17 games at the time of his "demotion."
Of course being in the shadow of Patrik Laine and all the media obsession over the 2016 second overall pick is probably a little too much to overcome for a young rookie.
But this post is simply another link to an article espousing the grit, determination and quiet patience of Moose graduate Joshua Morrissey. The young defenseman has certainly made strides in his quest to the NHL. And those strides have paid off.
