For those who thought Josh Morrissey wasted a year in junior, that he was bored or uninterested, the now-20-year-old defenceman has a different opinion.
"I don’t agree," Morrissey said today, having posted less-than-brilliant numbers in the WHL with Prince Albert, then Kelowna. "Junior is a great development scenario for players. For me to go back and play on two teams where I was given a lot of opportunity to play and improve and with great coaching staffs... you develop a lot as a player."
Morrissey, the 2013 first-round draft pick of the Winnipeg Jets was a standout in the spring of 2014.
