Josh Morrissey voted as Winnipeg Jets Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee

It is not hard to understand why Jets defenceman Josh Morrissey was just named the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy nominee for Winnipeg. The award is given to the player who “best exemplifies perseverance, sportsmanship, dedication to hockey”. May as well have his picture up beside this description.

This is a local nomination. Here is the full list of all 32 nominees from across the NHL.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
