Mark Morrison (born March 11, 1963) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player who played 10 games in the National Hockey League (NHL) with the New York Rangers. Morrison is currently the head coach of the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League (AHL). Mark is the brother of Doug Morrison who also played in the NHL. Their sister married fellow Canadian hockey player Garth Butcher.

Playing career

Morrison was a member of the Tulsa Oilers Central Hockey League (CHL) team that suspended operations on February 16, 1984, playing only road games for the final six weeks of the 1983-84 season. Despite this adversity, the team went on to win the league's championship.[1]

In 1993, Morrison moved to Scotland to play with the Fife Flyers of the British Hockey League (BHL). He took over as Flyers coach midway through the 1995-96 season, winning various Player and Coach of the Year awards over the next 10 years.

Coaching

Morrison joined the Victoria Salmon Kings of the ECHL as an assistant coach in 2006, where he was eventually named the replacement for Tony MacAulay midway into the 2006-07 ECHL season. He assumed the titles of head coach and general manager at the start of the 2007-08 season and continued to hold that title until the Salmon Kings officially folded on May 7, 2011, when Morrison was effectively relieved of his duties and all of his players were considered to be unrestricted free agents.

On July 20, 2011, Morrison was announced as the assistant coach of the future St. John's IceCaps of the American Hockey League (AHL), the AHL affiliate of the Winnipeg Jets.[2] He continued serving as an assistant coach when the franchise relocated back to Winnipeg as the Manitoba Moose in 2015.

Morrison was named an assistant coach with the Anaheim Ducks of the NHL on June 28, 2017.[3][4]

After four seasons in Anaheim, he was re-hired by the Jets to be the head coach of the Manitoba Moose prior to the 2021–22 season.[5]
