#7 – FORWARD, BRENDEN MORROW

The Dallas Stars organization may never meet another pure, unadulterated leader like seven-year Dallas Stars captain Brenden Morrow. The Carlyle, Saskatchewan local made a living out of sacrificing every fiber of his being for the improvement of his team.

Whether it was one hit, one blocked shot, one gritty, powerful goal, it was always change the way the game ends. Morrow, the 25th overall pick by Dallas in the 1997 Draft, evidently kept this in mind, completing six seasons with 100 or more penalty minutes.

However, Morrow was always good for much more than just grit and grind. Morrow’s 243 goals as a Dallas Star is tied for second in franchise history, also tallying the fifth-most postseason points since 1993-94 (42).

Perhaps nothing will be remembered from Morrow’s legendary Dallas stint better than the historic four-overtime Game 6 of the 2008 Western Conference Semifinals. Morrow scored the series-clinching goal in the eighth-longest game in NHL history, potting a Stephane Robidas feed and sending the American Airlines Center into elation.

Morrow was selected onto Team Canada’s men’s hockey team for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver, where the former WHL standout scored two goals and added an assist to win the gold medal.

After being traded from Dallas to Pittsburgh in 2013, Morrow laced them up for the Penguins, Blues, and Lightning prior to retiring in 2015. Morrow played 997 total NHL games and finished with 575 points.
