  Morelli is a native of Hamilton, Ont., and was a great playmaking hockey center and scorer 1957-60. He still holds the UND season record for points-65-made in 1959-60. Morelli scored the overtime goal against Michigan State that gave UND its first national hockey championship in 1959 at Troy, N.Y. After college he played two years with the St. Paul Saints, some years with the Warroad (Minn.) Lakers. One highlight, he says, was playing with a Regina (Sask.) team in the First World Oldtimers Hockey Tourney in Amsterdam, Holland and winning the title.
