He made his NHL debut for the Sabres in the 2002–03 NHL season on March 22, 2003 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, McMorrow spent the rest of his time with the Sabres' affiliate, the Rochester Americans. McMorrow was not re-signed by the Buffalo Sabres after the 2005–06 season, and subsequently signed with the Chicago Wolves of the AHL. Due to a lack of playing time, McMorrow left the Wolves in 2006 to play for Saint-Hyacinthe Top Design a semiprofessional hockey team in Quebec's LNAH.

McMorrow signed a professional try-out contract with the Rockford IceHogs of the AHL on October 22, 2008, playing for them in the 2008-09 Season. [2]
