Mark Morrison interview

I had the great pleasure of interviewing former Salmon Kings head coach Mark Morrison today. It was such a treat to discuss hockey with a home-town product who had starred here with the WHL Cougars and then come back 25 years later as head coach. He told me that not many coaches get the opportunity to coach in their hometown and that he really enjoyed his time here.

The player and their coaches were upset when the Salmon Kings folded as they felt they were on the verge of something great. However, it is very tough to play when you know that there is no future for your team. I told him many of the fans felt the same way although you would not really discern that from the press coverage at the time.
