Morrissey has eyes on the prize: a Jets roster spot

JOSH Morrissey spent part of his Monday morning at the MTS Iceplex perched at the lonely end of the rink.

With a bundle of pucks at his feet, the 21-year-old former first-round pick of the Winnipeg Jets unleashed each piece of rubber, one-by-one, into a empty net parked in front of him.

It wasn’t a case of the Mondays for the team’s prospect defenceman. Besides some extra work at the opposite end for goalies Michael Hutchinson and Eric Comrie, most players had vacated the ice surface. It was just Morrissey, some rubber and some twine, putting in some last-minute work he hopes will propel him to the Show this season.
