Josh Morrissey's Journey from AHL Debut to NHL Success with the Winnipeg Jets

After making his AHL debut with the St. John's IceCaps, Morrissey showcased his skills in both regular season and playoff games. He later earned a call-up to the NHL, making his debut with the Winnipeg Jets in 2016.

Morrissey quickly made an impact in the NHL, scoring his first career goal in a game against the Chicago Blackhawks. Throughout his first full season with the Jets, he displayed consistency and defensive prowess, contributing six goals and 20 points in 82 games. His performance helped the Jets secure a spot in the 2018 playoffs.

During the playoffs, Morrissey was slapped with a one-game suspension for a cross-check. In September 2019, he signed a significant eight-year, $50 million contract extension with the Jets, solidifying his place in the team's long-term plans.

Morrissey's leadership qualities were recognized when he was named an alternate captain of the Winnipeg Jets in October 2019.
