Playing career

Morin began his major junior hockey career in 2011 playing with the Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL.[1] He was rewarded for his outstanding first year play by being selected to the 2011–12 QMJHL All-Rookie Team.[2]

On September 17, 2013, Morin signed a three-year entry level contract with the Flyers,[3] but was returned to his junior team, the Rimouski Oceanic, to play the 2013–14 season in the QMJHL.[4]

Morin was a member of Canada's gold medal winning squad at the 2015 World Juniors held in Toronto.[5] That year he also won the President's Cup with the Oceanic as QMJHL champions,[6] but could not advance in the ensuing 2015 Memorial Cup tournament among CHL champions.
