On Saturday, October 16, 1993, in the Chicago Blackhawks-Winnipeg Jets game in Winnipeg, Morel was the referee who allowed the controversial overtime goal by Jets forward Nelson Emerson to stand. After Blackhawks goaltender Ed Belfour had tried to clear the puck around the glass behind the Chicago net, the forechecking Emerson caught the puck with his right glove and skated with the puck in hand from behind the net to the side of side of the right goalpost, where he dropped the puck behind the goal line. The final score in the game was Winnipeg 1, Chicago 0.

On May 31, 2010, he was fired as Quebec-based amateur scout for the Montreal Canadiens.
