George Morrison knew triumph on the ice of a hockey arena.
Mr. Morrison went unselected in the NHL amateur draft. Despite the initial lack of interest, the St. Louis Blues signed him as a free agent days before the puck dropped to start of the 1970-71 season.
His rookie campaign got a boost late in the season when St. Louis acquired Garry Unger from Detroit, where general manager Ned Harkness (obituary, Sept. 30) objected to the young player’s refusal to trim his hair. Mr. Unger centred a line with Mr. Morrison and Wayne Connelly, contributing to a strong 7-2-3 finish to the season.
Mr. Morrison scored 15 goals and added 10 assists. He was named the club’s rookie of the year and was presented this Patek Philippe as a token of his hard work and dedication.
