Playing career

Youth

As a youth player, Morgan was part of a massive upset in North Dakota state tournament hockey. Her second year on the team the Mandan Braves, they beat a dominant 15-3-0 Fargo North-South team, who had already begun to plan their post-game celebrations. Morgan stopped 49 of 50 shots and helped Mandan win 2-1 in overtime. [1] She then played for Maple Grove in Minnesota where she posted a .943 save percentage. [2]

College

Morgan began her college ice hockey career at St. Lawrence University, where she was a walk-on to their Division I team. She missed out on recruiting due to playing in a rarely-scouted area for her first two years of high school. St. Lawrence took a chance on her and Morgan earned the starting goaltender position as a freshman. She recorded thirteen shutouts in four years. [2] After averaging a .928 save percentage with St. Lawrence, Morgan used her fifth year of eligibility with the Minnesota Golden Gophers, where she averaged .931 and went 15-3. [1] [3]

Professional

The Minnesota Frost signed Morgan as a Reserve Player for the 2024–25 season after training camp. [4] Following the illness of goaltender Maddie Rooney, the team signed Morgan to a 10-day Standard Player Agreement on January 2, 2025. [3] Prior to the Frost's game against the New York Sirens on January 4, 2025, Nicole Hensley was injured during warmups, elevating Morgan to the starting position for her PWHL debut. [5] [6] After returning to the Frost's reserve list, Morgan was signed by the Ottawa Charge on March 14, 2025, following an injury to Emerance Maschmeyer. [7]
