Jimmy Morris

In 1974, Jimmy Morris was elected to the BC Sports Hall of Fame as a multi-talented athlete.

Jimmy was born in Tacoma, Washington on December 15, 1911.

He arrived in Trail in 1925 and first played organized hockey during the 1927-28 season for Peter McIntyre's Trail Juniors. He joined the Trail Smoke Eaters in 1932 and played until 1946 when he retired as an active player.

In 1939, Jimmy was a member of the World Championship Smokies.

His success in sports was not confined to hockey. He also excelled in lacrosse, soccer, rugby, baseball, softball, basketball, and track and field. He played on at least 27 BC championship teams, an outstanding achievement that will be difficult to duplicate.
