Morrow was originally selected No. 40 overall in the 2021 NHL Draft by the Hurricanes and singed his entry-level contract last season following his NCAA season.
Morrow spent the 2023-24 campaign with UMass in the NCAA where he compiled six goals and 24 assists for 30 points in 37 games. He ranked third in scoring among Hockey East defensemen and earned conference Third-Team All-Star honors.
Morrow spent three seasons with the Minutemen, notching 28 goals and 66 assists for 94 points in 109 career NCAA games. Morrow led all Hockey East defensemen in goals and points as a freshman during the 2021-22 campaign, earning selection to the conference’s First All-Star Team and becoming the first freshman in program history to receive First-Team All-American honors. Morrow is the first defenseman to reach the 30-point mark in three different seasons at UMass.
Prior to his NCAA tenure, the Darien, Connecticut native spent time with Shattuck St. Mary’s Prep School and the Fargo Force of the United States Hockey League (USHL). He tallied 40 assists and 48 points in 30 games during the 2020-21 season with Shattuck.
