stats | pictures

nicknames: Mini-Mo, Brendelendelen (a puckpixie creation)
you need to know: had a 94% average in grade 12 (wow!) when he was playing in the WHL, and he was Portland's nomination for Scholastic Athlete of the Year
changed from 45 to 10 because Hull told him to get a real hockey number because 45 isn't one. His mother prefers 45.
is still good friends with junior roomie Marian Hossa. They played Playstation everyday and Morrow "would have to let him beat me a few times so he wouldn't get too upset."
rooms with Marty Turco on the road. Roomed with Scott Thorton his first year and one of the two always had stiches or a black eye.
if stuck on a desert island he would take Anne Marie, his dog and "a deck of cards. Nieuwendyk and Langenbrunner take all my money on the road, so I would have to practice on the island"
married to Anne Marie Carbonneau, as in Guy’s daughter.
played for the Canadian World Juniors team against the Roman Lyashenko-captained Russian World Juniors team.
has an older brother, Jeremy
parents are Lucille and Dick Morrow
he was never drafted in the bantam draft, but was a walk-on at the Portland Training Camp.
he was quite chubby when he came to Portland and earned the nickname "Butterball."
Portland won the Memorial Cup (the CHL championship trophy, equivalent to the Stanley Cup) in 1997-98 with Brenden
also had the nickname "The Chairman of the Boards" because he was so amazing on the boards

whats cool: he has that neato irresistable impish Brenden smile
he, by his own admission, can play "every type of game"
in the game against Phoenix before the all-star break, he had a sore hand and he wasn't supposed to be fighting, but he fought Green anyway because it was "something [he] had to do"..in other words he can kick ass
had 3 Brett Hull posters on his wall back home as a kid
his mom claims that the Brett Hull book that Brenden received as a Christmas present "was probably the first book he ever read  cover  to cover." (could this be the untouchable Brett Hull autobiography? the same book that i would be willing to dedicate  far too much time to analyze? we don't know...but we'll have to find that out too)
he participated in rodeos, getting bucked off the backs of cows, and steer wrestling. (hey, keaner...HA! we have a REAL rodeo vet on the team now)
as a child, competed in calf scrambles, chasing the animals around the pen, then pulling off their ribbons
would travel to Minot, ND to participate in competitions, and Brenden brought home a rope due to his second place finish
mom owns a sporting goods store in Carlisle "Work & Play"
not so cool: wears an abercrombie hat...BRENDEN! you're so much cooler than that...
GREAT STORY: "Scooter said the best "shoe check" of all time got pulled on [Marty] Standish by Brenden Morrow two years ago. Brenden waited for Marty under a buffet table at a pre-game meal and when he walked through the line, completely buried his shoes in mashed potatoes and gravy. It apparently was a classic."
