The Calgary Flames dipped into the NCAA free agent pool on Thursday night by signing defenceman Kenney Morrison from Western Michigan University.
A native of Lloydminster, Alta., Morrison scored five times and added eight assists in 25 games this season for the Broncos. He also had a plus-5 rating and collected 22 penalty minutes.
Sportsnet’s Roger Millions says Morrison is one of the top defensive players coming out of the NCAA this year.
