Chicago Mission alum Cab Morris has been selected to play the 2009-10 season for the USHL Champion Indiannapolis Ice. Morris, who was drafted by the Ice, had a strong showing in their main try out camp to cement his position. The 6'4 goalie starred for Hotchkiss Prep last year after 3 stellar years with the Mission. He has been ranked number 12 in NHL Central Scouting's ratings of North American goalies for the upcoming NHL draft.
At Indiannapolis, Morris will be playing for former collegiate standout goalie Jeff Blaishill, a former assistant coach with Miami of Ohio and Ferris State. Morris has generated significant interest from several Div I schools.
"Cab is one of the most dedicated and serious students of the game I've ever worked with," said Chico Adrahtas. "He has earned every bit of his success thus far. Getting to work with Coach Blaishill on a regular basis will be a tremendous boon to his career. I think Cab is going to be a terrific Div I goalie and I have little doubt he's going to play at the professional level as well."
Morris now joins Mission alum Jeff Teglia ( Omaha ) and Nick Pisellini ( Chicago )
as goalies in the USHL. The Mission is the only organization in Chicago to ever have 3 home-grown goalies playing in the league at the same time.
