Career
Morris was a star player at national prep hockey powerhouse St. Sebastian's, Needham, Massachusetts, where he played and won the ISL Championship and the New England Prep school championship. Overlooked because of his size by many of the top college programs, Mike stayed local to play in Hockey East on a full scholarship to Northeastern University in Boston, where he played forward.
Finishing second in team scoring in the 2004–05 season to Hobey Baker finalist Jason Guerriero, Morris suffered a major concussion at year's end and sat out the 2005–06 season (which would have been his senior year). He eventually received a medical red shirt exception to play in 2006–07. Morris returned as co-captain for that season, in which he played in only 20 games due to ongoing injuries, but finished third on the team in points with 18.
Morris spent the 2007–08 campaign playing for the Worcester Sharks (AHL), where he played in nine games, scoring two points. He played in another 17 games for Worcester in the 2008–09 season, scoring eleven points, after which he suffered another concussion that ended his season. He was medically released from his contract, and per doctor's orders, retired from professional hockey.
