Interesting Fact: He retired from ski jumping after the Vancouver Olympics at age 18 because his heart wasn’t fully in it any more. It was later, while working as a coach, that he found his passion for ski jumping once again. He came out of retirement in October 2013 after three years away from competition.

Chances: Morrice is part of an extremely young and relatively inexperienced Canadian ski jumping team, most of whom are not expected to make any significant splashes in Sochi; Morrice is no exception.
