Morin, a 5-foot-10, 185-pound goaltender from St. Georges de Beauce, Que., won both of his playoff starts last week. He posted a 1.50 goals-against average, along with a stingy .946 save percentage as McGill swept their best-of-three quarter-final series against Queen's, winning 3-2 on home-ice last Wednesday and 5-1 in Kingston on Friday. The 24-year-old civil engineering senior saved 53 of 56 shots over the two games.

A product of St. Lawrence in the Quebec Jr. AAA league, Morin entered McGill in 2008 out of College Beauce Appalaches.
