About Me
- Mr.Morin
- Originally from Weyburn, SK, I was born with a passion for sports. Unfortunately a lack of talent has lead me to make a fantastic career choice, that being teaching History and English which I currently do at Norquay School in Norquay, SK. I am married to a wonderful woman, Breanna, who not only allows me to watch sports on a seemingly endless basis, but she has even started to take a general interest in most major sports. While her preference for teams leaves a little to be desired, I still think its pretty awesome that I can spend Sunday afternoons watching NFL football WITH my wife! We are also fortunate to have two fantastic children, Kylie, born in December of 2009 and Kruze, born in August of 2011.
