I really noticed him this game off his play below the goal line in the offensive zone. He was spinning off pressure well, protecting the puck, and finding teammates for positive possession continuation. His game often doesn’t get the same level of fanfare as some of the others but that doesn’t make him less effective at what he does. He forechecked heavily, was smart with his movement, and was setting up for heavy one-timer releases on the PP along the right side. He’s a bit of a grinder and a glue guy and plays that role so very well.

McMorrow has been a far more impactful forward at this tournament than his scoring totals would indicate so it was only a matter of time before he was able to get on the board. His first point was a primary assist off of a 2v1 rush alongside Emery that both players played to perfection. What was even more impressive was McMorrow single handedly challenging a Swedish player while short handed, forcing a turnover, recovering the puck in-motion and then identifying Vansaghi bolting up ice and hitting him in perfect stride to give him the scoring chance.
