Morrell wants to see the Crimson play hard and strong for a full sixty minutes, and if they do that, he thinks the Crimson can do just about anything.

He has a great sense of Harvard hockey history and has been a fan of the Crimson since childhood. Coming from Natick, Mass., Morrell can remember back to the days when Bright Arena was filled to the rafters every night, and a ticket was hard to come by.

"I've always wanted to play hockey for Harvard since they won the NCAA championship back in '89," Morrell says. "It's an honor and a privilege every time I put on that jersey. My goal since I got here has been to get our rink packed on a daily basis. The only way to do that is by winning."

For the Crimson to succeed, Morrell knows it will need a full effort from every member of the team at both ends of the ice.

"In college hockey everybody has the talent and the potential to win any given night," Morrell says. "It's whoever shows up to play and wants it the most that gets to go home with the win."

When asked about his expectations for the season, Morrell isn't too shy to show his enthusiasm.

"I expect to win the league," Morrell says. "I expect to win every game. We need the Beanpot this year. Being from around here, I'm sick and tired of having to listen to people from B.C. and B.U. We need to make a statement. We're not looking to next year or the year after. The time is now."

Let's hope he's right.
