The Syracuse Crunch and their general manager Julien Brisebois have announced the release of forwards Kevin Morris and Cory Ward from professional tryout contracts. Both players were signed after Cameron Darcy and Brian Hart were assigned to the Kalamazoo Wings of the ECHL.
Left winger Morris played in two games for the Crunch with no points and a minus-one plus-minus rating. He also had a fight to account for his five penalty minutes.
Morris is in his first full season as a professional hockey player after spending four years at the University of Miami (Ohio).
