Joseph Pierre Marius "Pete, Pit" Morin (December 8, 1915 – January 5, 2000) was a Canadian ice hockey forward. He played 32 games in the National Hockey League with the Montreal Canadiens during the 1941–42 season. The rest of his career, which lasted from 1934 to 1950, was mainly spent with the Montreal Royals in the Quebec Senior Hockey League.

Playing career

Morin was born and raised in the Montreal suburb of Lachine and began playing for the Montreal Royals of the QSHL in 1936. There, he skated alongside Buddy O'Connor and Gerry Heffernan and the trio became known as the "Razzle Dazzle" line. In 1941–42 the three played together for the Canadiens. In 31 games he recorded 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points and appeared as a promising forward. Yet an injury cut his NHL career short and he returned to the less competitive QSHL where he continued to put up productive numbers. He was also a member of the Montreal Royal Canadian Air Force team for two years during World War II.[1]
