Jets prospect Kyle Connor named HCA National Rookie of the Month

He may have been snubbed by Team USA for the World Juniors (perhaps a decision they are regretting now) but he was certainly recognized by his play in December for the University of Michigan.

“Connor led the nation with seven goals and 13 points in six games during the month of December, averaging 2.17 points per game in that span. He registered at least one point in all six games, including four multi-point efforts.”

USCHO:  North Dakota’s Johnson, Michigan’s Connor pick up December HCA laurels.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
