Bertram Clifford "Bert" Morrison (January 10, 1880 – April 23, 1969) was a Canadian professional ice hockey rover who was active with several clubs in the early 1900s. Amongst the teams Morrison played for were the Pittsburgh Keystones, Portage Lakes Hockey Club, Calumet Miners, Montreal Shamrocks, Toronto Professionals, Montreal Wanderers and Haileybury Hockey Club.
Career
Morrison started out on the semi-professional ice hockey circuit in the 1901–02 season when he played for the Pittsburgh Keystones in the Western Pennsylvania Hockey League. Amongst his teammates on the Keystones that season were Riley Hern and Harry Peel, with Peel later admitting to being paid money to play for the team. Morrison himself were investigated on the same matter by the Ontario Rugby Football Union and the Ontario Hockey Association after playing a game with Toronto against London.
In the 1903–04 season Morrison scored a total number of 94 goals in 25 games with the Portage Lakes Hockey Club, playing alongside future Hockey Hall of Fame members Hod Stuart, Bruce Stuart, Riley Hern and Jack Gibson.
