Wikipedia / Lew Morrison

Henry Lewis Morrison (February 11, 1948 – July 15, 2023) was a Canadian professional ice hockey player who played 564 National Hockey League (NHL) games for the Philadelphia Flyers, Atlanta Flames, Washington Capitals, and Pittsburgh Penguins between 1969 and 1978. Morrison played junior with the Flin Flon Bombers of the Western Canada Hockey League, and was selected by the Flyers 8th overall in the 1968 NHL Amateur Draft. He made his professional debut that year with the Flyers' American Hockey League affiliate, the Quebec Aces, and joined Philadelphia for the 1969–70 season. After three seasons with the Flyers Morrison was claimed by the expansion Atlanta Flames in 1972, and played two seasons there before joining another expansion team, the Washington Capitals. He briefly played for Washington before being traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins, where he would play the last four years of his career.

Morrison was born in Gainsborough, Saskatchewan and raised in Hartney, Manitoba. He was elected into the Manitoba Hockey Hall of Fame in 2017. He died on July 15, 2023, at the age of 75.
