Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Morrissey leads the entire Jets 'D' - averaging over 24:00 TOI
All of his ice time comes at ES - PP#1 - 4vs4 - 3vs3
A '2-way/Transitional' defenceman who quarterbacks the top power-play unit.
Sees the ice. Excellent distributor. Shoots the puck hard and accurately when he sees a lane to the net. Matches up against top opponents at ES on a nightly basis
Not overly physical - but sneaky at times. He will gap up and surprise opponents who aren't prepared to absorb contact.
As of January 27th - 46GP - 7G - 26A - 32 pims - (+22) - 37 hits - 67 shot blocks

Arguably the Jets most valuable all-round player.
Logs a ton of ice time in all situations. Averaged 24:13 TOI in (22/23) - 89 hits - 119 shot blocks
QB's the first PP unit - excellent distributor - outstanding spatial awareness - when he sees an opportunity to shoot the puck through a seem he can beat NHL goalies from distance - fantastic release -
No holes in his game overall - coming off a big year offensively - but also defensively aware
'2-way / Transitional' defenceman - leader - competes - reliable in all three zones - sneaks up on opponents physically / occasionally catches them with a surprise hit when gapping up
