Compiled by USCHO Staff

POTSDAM, N.Y. — Former Clarkson head coach Mark Morris filed a lawsuit today against Clarkson University over his firing earlier this season, according to sources close to the situation.

Morris was fired in November for incidents that took place during a morning practice involving Golden Knights forward Zach Schwan. Morris was accused of physically confronting Schwan. The school fired Morris after a 10-day investigation.

Morris is now fighting back by filing a lawsuit that is seeking in excess of $10 million in damages. He is also asking to be reinstated as head coach at Clarkson, and that the current job search for a head coach cease and desist immediately.

More details to come.
