Playing career

Born in Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, Morin was named Metro player of the year by the Minneapolis Star Tribune in 2002, his senior year at Osseo Senior High School. During that season he also scored 66 points to pass former NHL player Trent Klatt to become the all-time point leader at Osseo. He was selected by the Washington Capitals in the 9th Round, 263rd Overall, in the 2004 NHL Entry Draft, while at Minnesota State University, Mankato.

In the 2008–09 season, Morin led the South Carolina Stingrays of the ECHL in points, with 88 in 71 games. He also led in assists, with 63. He had 22 points in the playoffs, in which the Stingrays won their third Kelly Cup.

After spending the 2009–10 season, helping lead the Texas Stars to the Calder Cup finals in their inaugural season, Morin was signed by NHL affiliate the Dallas Stars to a one-year contract on July 12, 2010. Morin made his NHL Debut with the Stars during the 2010–11 season in a 3-1 victory over the Edmonton Oilers on January 26, 2011. Since then Morin has primarily played for the Texas Stars, though he saw limited action with the Dallas Stars in 2013-2014, gaining his first NHL point (an assist) during that time.

Morin would again lead the Texas Stars to the Calder Cup finals in 2014; the Stars would win the Calder Cup and Morin was awarded the Jack A. Butterfield Trophy as the Most Valuable Player during the Cup finals.

On May 19, 2017, as an impending free agent from his contract with the Dallas Stars, Morin opted to continue his 9-year tenure with Texas, signing a one-year AHL contract.
