Coquitlam Express forward Brandon Morley will reunite with his older brother Tyler at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks as he has accepted a scholarship to play for the Nanooks.

Brandon began this season with Surrey and came to Coquitlam in October. He has four goals and 12 assists on the campaign and also took home a silver medal as part of Team Canada West at the World Junior A Challenge in November.
