Throughout his hockey career, Luke Morgan has been no stranger to uncertainty.
First, the now-senior forward had few options to play Division I college hockey. He ended up choosing Lake Superior State University, which proved to be a bad fit after only a year.

SOUTH BEND — Midway through the third period, the game seemed to be slipping away from the Michigan hockey team.
After getting on the board first, the Wolverines were clearly the worse team for the majority of the game. Constant mistakes led to chance after chance from dangerous spots for Notre Dame. It was only a matter of time before the Fighting Irish converted on one of them.
