Flames Prospect Morin's Memorial Cup Campaign Ends In Defeat To Knights In Sem-Final
Flames Prospect Morin's Memorial Cup Campaign Ends In Defeat To Knights In Sem-Final Calgary prospect Etienne Morin and the Moncton Wildcats' push for the Memorial Cup came to an end as they lost 5-2 to the OHL champions London Knights in the semi-final on Friday evening. Morin made many efforts in the man-advantage for the QMJHL champions. Advertisement In the first power play, the 20-year-old set up teammates Vincent Collard and Caleb Desnoyers but they couldn't finish. He even put up a shot that rang the crossbar. In the second man-advantage, Morin and the Wildcats finally struck oil, feeding the puck to Desnoyers who sniped the puck into the goal from the left faceoff circle, allowing Morin to register his first assist and third point of the tournament. The score got tied 1-1 This was Moncton's first successful power play after the previous four in the tournament did not yield a goal. Morin was called back into action for the Wildcats' third power play. He put up two blocked shots, but Moncton levelled the game 2-2 as soon as his shift ended on the man-advantage. Advertisement The 2023 second-round pick was quarterbacking 5v5 situations as well, as close to the end of the second period, London's Jared Woolley broke his stick in the offensive zone and wound up having to take Landon Sim's stick, leaving the Knights pseudo-shorthanded. Morin put up a shot that got blocked by Sim and fed another pass to Desnoyers which did not find the back of the net. Unfortunately, in the fourth of the third period, Morin would be unable to contain London's Blake Montgomery from scoring the game-winning goal. The Quebec native never recovered after that. The London Knights will now face another Flames prospect in Andrew Basha and the WHL champions Medicine Hat Tigers in the Memorial Cup Final on Sunday Puck drop is at 7 pm ET/4 pm ET.

Create Account For the family and friends of his victim, there was shock, horror and utter disbelief. Morin, now 28, has a problem with women. And violence. Those 'qualities' created an explosive mixture that left a vivacious young woman named Cileana Taylor dead. In September 2020, Morin and his then-girlfriend Taylor, who was from Curve Lake First Nation near Peterborough, were headed to a party in the Liftlock City. On the street, Morin battered Taylor to the point that she had seizures, went into a coma and was put on life support. Cileana Taylor. FACEBOOK She never regained consciousness. Taylor, 22, died in hospital on Feb. 26, 2021. At the time, Morin had been charged with aggravated assault endangering life. He was just a few months out of jail. But neither the Crown nor the cops upgraded his charges to second-degree murder or, at the very least, manslaughter. One Toronto homicide detective was stunned that charges against Morin weren't upped. He didn't buy the Crown's lame time-lapse excuse for not changing the charges.

According to Metroland, the pathologist ruled it was inconclusive whether she died as a result of the beating, or of cocaine and alcohol use. 'We sometimes have people who were shot 30 years ago and then die from their injuries. We don't normally pursue murder charges in those cases,' the detective told the Toronto Sun in 2024. 'But in such a short period of time? Absolutely, this is not aggravated assault … this is manslaughter at the very least. Don't blame the cops on this one, I can tell you right now it was all the Crown attorneys. Too many of them now think they're social workers.' THUGS R US: Violent Peterborough knucklehead Jordan Morin. FACEBOOK And Morin, miraculously, discovered his long-lost Indigenous identity while awaiting trial. His lawyers argued he suffered from fetal alcohol syndrome and was the victim of a litany of other societal woes. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In the end, he pleaded guilty to choking Taylor and was sentenced to four years in prison. But wait … Morin served just 550 days in the slammer after receiving credit for time served of 850 days. Metroland discovered that he was back on the streets and living the good life in Georgina. Taylor's family were outraged that Morin was out. Now, Metroland reports that Morin was arrested in a big dope bust near Bancroft. OPP investigators seized what they believe to be nearly 20 grams of fentanyl, 160 grams of cocaine, 20 grams of heroin, crystal meth, MDMA, morphine, lorazepam and bathroom cabinet of other drugs, along with weighing scales and $900 cash. Morin has been charged with nine counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. None of the latest charges have been proven in court. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. NO JUSTICE: The man convicted of killing Cileana Taylor skated with an aggravated assault charge. FACEBOOK This is not his first rodeo. When Morin was busted for attacking Cileana Taylor, he was out on bail for a separate 2019 attack. And when he was out on bail in the Taylor case? He was arrested in January 2021 for the alleged assault on another woman in November 2020. He did 10 months in jail for assaulting a Good Samaritan who suffered life-changing facial injuries. Morin was also sprung on bail yet again just three weeks before Taylor died. Former Curve Lake Chief Keith Knott told me in 2024 that he was mystified by Morin's easygoing sentence and kid-glove treatment. 'We don't understand the system, how they determine these things … how do you get justice for a young life that has been lost? We are very upset,' Knott said. And, somewhere in the legal system, an academic or judge is baffled and probably asking themself: 'Why do Canadians hold us in such contempt?' If anyone asks, just say, 'Cileana Taylor.' bhunter@ @HunterTOSun Toronto & GTA Columnists Toronto & GTA Ontario Sunshine Girls

State of emergency: Over 4,000 evacuated as wildfires threaten Northern Saskatchewan communities
Northern Saskatchewan is in the grip of an intense and rapidly escalating wildfire crisis, forcing at least 4,000 residents to flee their homes and communities. The most severe impact is felt in the northern village of Pelican Narrows, where flames edge dangerously close to residential areas, threatening both homes and vital road access. Pelican Narrows, about 400 kilometres northeast of Prince Albert, has seen approximately 2,000 residents evacuated, with another 2,000 ordered to leave immediately. The Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation declared a state of emergency on Tuesday, May 28, as the fire situation worsened. Many evacuees are being transported by bus to safety in Prince Albert, Saskatoon, and Flin Flon, while those driving receive fuel assistance.

"There's lots of people at the gas station gassing up. Everyone was in the panic mood," she told CBC News. Forced to detour after Highway 106 closed, Morin and her partner arrived in Saskatoon at 2 a.m. only to find themselves scrambling to find hotel rooms. Live Events Morin's concerns extend beyond her own safety; she worries for the community members, including her grandfather, who chose to stay behind as security. "I'm very stressed out about the whole situation," she said. "I just hope like they can get the fire under control and then we can go home." The fires have not only upended lives in Pelican Narrows. Several other northern communities are grappling with evacuation orders or warnings. For instance, more than 380 residents from Hall Lake were evacuated on Monday, May 27, and Canoe Lake leaders moved about 500 people to safety in neighbouring Alberta towns. In Manitoba, the nearby city of Flin Flon has issued pre-evacuation notices and begun moving high-acuity patients from its hospital due to advancing flames crossing provincial borders. Steve Roberts, Vice-President of Operations at the Saskatchewan Public Safety Agency (SPSA), described this wildfire season as historic in both scale and intensity. "We have not seen a fire season with as much impact and activity in the last couple of decades," Roberts said, emphasizing that nearly every wildfire this year was caused by human activity. Currently, there are 17 active wildfires in Saskatchewan, with ten still uncontained. The largest fire in the province is a merger of two blazes in Narrow Hills Provincial Park, now threatening multiple communities and prompting evacuation alerts for Candle Lake and others. Smoke and closures have added to the disruption. Highway 106, a major route in the region, is closed, forcing detours and complicating evacuation efforts. The City of Saskatoon has responded by closing the Cosmo Civic Centre to the public and designating it as an evacuation site, with costs to be covered by the Canadian Red Cross. Authorities have also urged the public to avoid flying drones near fires, as one grounded water bomber aircraft was unable to operate because of unauthorised drone flights.

Jordan Morin back behind bars a month after his release shocks Cileana Taylor's family
Less than a month after the family of Cileana Taylor expressed anguish at the release of Jordan Morin — the man involved in the death of the 22-year-old — he is back behind bars. The 28-year-old from Peterborough was arrested as part of a fentanyl investigation near Bancroft. On May 22, the OPP executed search warrants at a home on Highway 28 South following an investigation that started in the spring. Officers seized a cache of drugs believed to include almost 20 grams of fentanyl, 160 grams of cocaine, 20 grams of heroin, crystal meth, MDMA, morphine, lorazepam and other drugs, along with weighing scales and $900 cash. Morin has been charged with nine counts of possession for the purpose of trafficking and possession of property obtained by crime under $5,000. On April 28, Metroland published a story from Taylor's family expressing regret about Morin's alleged move to Georgina to reside with his new girlfriend. In September 2020, Taylor, from Curve Lake First Nation, went to a party with Morin, with whom she'd been dating. Morin assaulted Taylor, which caused seizures that led to her eventually needing life support. Due to several factors, including the six months in between the assault and her being taken off life support, Morin was not charged with manslaughter as the family wished. Morin pleaded guilty to a charge of aggravated assault endangering life and was sentenced to four years, but would only serve a fraction of that. Taylor's brutal death shone a spotlight on her Indigenous heritage and Canada's ongoing struggle with intimate partner violence. Morin, who suffers from fetal-alcohol syndrome, also has a long history of drug use, assaults and breaching the terms of his release. The Taylor family were further outraged when he claimed in court to be of Indigenous heritage himself, something he'd never divulged to Taylor or her family previously. In this latest arrest, Morin and two others have been held in custody until their upcoming court dates.

Man fatally shot by police in Coon Rapids identified as 65-year-old
Authorities have identified the man fatally shot by police in Coon Rapids this week as Robert Davis, 65. The Midwest Medical Examiner's Office confirmed that Davis, of Coon Rapids, died from a single gunshot wound that was fired by a Coon Rapids police officer responding to a domestic incident in the city on Wednesday. The officer who shot him has been identified as Timothy Morin, who has seven years of law enforcement experience. Three others officers at the scene were Steve Minion and Michael Blair, who fired "less lethal launchers," and Emily Giese, who fired a Taser. According to the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension, Davis was armed with a folding-utility knife and moving towards Officer Morin when he opened fire. Officers had received a 911 domestic call on the 300 block of 111th Avenue Northwest just after noon, with the caller a woman – Davis's long-term partner – who said that Davis had cut her with a knife and was still inside the home. When the officers arrived, the BCA says the "tried to make verbal contact with Davis from the entryway of the home." The woman victim and another man escaped the home while the officers negotiated with Davis for up to an hour. "He was still armed with the knife while officers continued communicating with him to drop the weapon and told him that he was under arrest," the BCA says. Minion fired the less-lethal rounds at Davis, who moved further into the home. Officers continued to tell him to drop the knife, with Blair then firing a less-lethal round. Per the BCA: "Davis moved toward Officer Morin, who fired his department-issued handgun, striking Davis. Officer Giese deployed her Taser at which point Davis was taken into custody. "Officers provided life-saving care, but Davis later died at the hospital." The injured woman suffered a knife wound to the hand and was treated and released. The officers were wearing body cameras during the incident, which remains under investigation. The findings of the BCA will be then sent to the Anoka County Attorney's Office for review.
