WHEN it comes to being ‘Made in Sheffield’ there is probably nobody else who epitomises that more than Ben Morgan.
Born and bred in the Steel City, Morgan has been a staple of the Sheffield ice hockey scene – an EPL championship-winning season at Manchester Phoenix aside – for his entire career. It’s in his DNA. It was therefore, perhaps, little surprise when he was recently announced as the new player-coach at Sheffield Steeldogs.
As Morgan stressed, it will take time before the efforts of himself and Weeks – back in the player development role he had before succeeding Hewitt – bear fruit, but there is a determination to ensure that the ‘Made in Sheffield’ tag becomes the norm, not the exception. “It’s going to be hard in the first 12, 24, maybe even 36 months, trying to strike that balance,” said Morgan.
