Many students were sad to see Peter Morris graduate last year after spending his senior year at Northwood. Peter only spent one year at Northwood, but he made the most of it! If I were to try to make this article a week ago, it would have been much more difficult to get a hold of him because his hockey season was in full swing. However, his season is over now, and he has plenty of time to talk to me.
“Last year I played with the Johnstown Tomahawks in the North American Hockey League,” Morris said when asked about what he did last year for hockey. “I had a good season; I knew my role and played my role well. It is hard to make the lineup every night as one of the youngest guys on the roster, but I managed to do that every night.” He also added, “I ended up getting in a couple of fights too, they were some of the highlights of my year for sure.”
“Next year I plan on playing with the Lincoln Stars in the United States Hockey League,” said Morris when asked about his plans for next year. “I’ve talked to the Lincoln Stars coach a few times, and they seem to be very interested in me. It’s always been my dream to play in the United States Hockey League, so it would be special to me if I could play there next year.” Former Husky Nathaniel Poole, ’25, currently plays for the Lincoln Stars; it would be pretty cool to see the former teammates team up in the future. Peter Morris is also committed to Lake Superior State University to continue playing hockey at the NCAA Division 1 level. “I hope to have a great year next year with Lincoln and then go into school the following year. However, if that doesn’t happen, I will most likely spend two years with Lincoln and then go into school a year older.”
“I miss being able to hang out with my friends the most,” said Morris when asked about what he misses most about Northwood. “Even though I only got to spend a year at Northwood, I still made friendships that are going to last me a lifetime. The memories I made at Northwood are going to stay with me forever. Northwood is a very special place, and my experience there added a lot of happiness and success to my Life.”
