Morrissey credits the Raiders for where he is today
A lot has changed for Josh Morrissey since he was drafted by the Prince Albert Raiders in 2010. Back then, he was a timid and smiley brace-faced 15-year-old kid, hoping to one day make an impact in the Western Hockey League.
Now he finds himself as the top defenceman on the Winnipeg Jets, alongside a fat, eight-year, $50 million contract at the start of the season.
His Jets headed to the ‘NHL bubble’ in Edmonton on Sunday, where the Jets will play Morrissey’s hometown Calgary Flames in a best-of-five Qualifying Series starting on Aug. 1.
Morrissey told paNOW he wouldn’t be where he is today if it wasn’t for his time with the Raiders.
