Jets’ Josh Morrissey honours late father on Hockey Fights Cancer night

WINNIPEG – Sometimes sporting a flashy suit jacket is more than just a fashion statement. For Josh Morrissey, this is one of those times. Morrissey entered the arena ahead of the Winnipeg Jets’ Hockey Fights Cancer Night with a purple velvet number that carries a lot of significance after losing his father Tom to the disease in August, just one day shy of his 70th birthday. “It’s a special night. It’s a night that, for me personally and our family, it’s kind of been marked on the calendar for a while obviously,” said Morrissey pre-game. “It was a tough year, and certainly summer, for us, losing our dad. But tonight means a lot for us. It’s a lot of emotions. There’s happy thoughts, obviously some sad as well. It’s a great initiative by the NHL, and certainly going to be playing for him tonight. It’s a special night for our family.” Tom coached Josh for a long time and that support carried on as Morrissey rose through the junior ranks and eventually made his way onto the Jets. “...
