Mason Morelli comes back to his hometown to attend his grandfather’s memorial golf tournament

MINOT, N.D.– Making history as the first player from Minot to make an NHL appearance and to also score a goal in his first ever professional period, Morelli is extremely humble and say’s that those moments wouldn’t have been as special without his family in the stands.

” It was a long journey it was a grind, but everything’s a grind right? Everyone’s grinding in their own way, but it was very special and very cool. The coolest part for me was being able to have my family there. They were down there in San jose with me being able to watch the game, and the way the Las Vegas Golden Knights took care of my family and got them out there, I can’t say thanks enough to them. They treated them so well and I’m very grateful for that. It was a super cool moment not only for myself, but my family and some of my friends were there too, so I got to give them a little love it was pretty cool having all that support there”, said Mason Morelli.

Coming from why not Minot, Morelli’s message to the youth in the community is quite simple.

“I tell my younger brother all the time my younger brother he’s 18. I said if you work hard and you’re a good person I think good things will come to you in any matter of life. I think if you work hard and do the right things long enough good things will happen. Like I said there’s so much support behind me and I can’t tell everyone thanks enough. It’s very special and it’s something that I’m really thankful for”, said Morelli.
