Darcy Morris’ job today is to define the vision for Ewing Morris, set the long-term strategy, and make sure the right people are in place to execute it. It’s a role he describes with characteristic directness. But to understand where that clarity comes from, you have to go back to the beginning: a 15-year-old hockey player, a cold letter, and the 70th floor of First Canadian Place.
Darcy had just met the managing partner of Cantor Fitzgerald, a man who had fallen in love with hockey but never skated in his life. On his mother’s advice, Darcy wrote him a letter offering a trade: skating lessons for a job in finance. The managing partner called back a few days later. The job was simple- do whatever the floor of 70 traders asked. The skating lessons happened as promised. That was how it started.
A few years later, reading classic value investing texts at university, something clicked. Markets weren’t about momentum or noise. They were about ownership, fundamentals, and time. That conviction became the foundation for everything Ewing Morris has been built on: aim to protect capital first, invest with discipline, and measure success not by the size of the firm but by what it delivers for the people who trust it.
