Dean Morton
Dean Morton is a Canadian ice hockey referee in the National Hockey League, and a retired defenceman who played one game in the NHL.Biography
As a youth, Morton played in the 1981 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournament with a minor ice hockey team from Peterborough, Ontario.
He played in one NHL game for the Detroit Red Wings during the 1989–90 NHL season, and is one of only four players to score a goal in their only NHL game, along with Brad Fast, Samuel Henley, and Rolly Huard.
He received media attention on HBO's 24/7 Winter Classic special when a post-game dressing room scene showed him being congratulated for a "ballsy call" by partner Stephen Walkom. The call in question was a goaltender interference call to disallow a goal by the Pittsburgh Penguins that would have tied the game against the Washington Capitals.
On February 15, Dean Morton said to Brendan Gallagher "Go F**k yourself" after the poorly call during the game of the Montreal Canadiens losing to Dallas Stars and received immediate media attention.
