Ever since Connor was a child, he dreamed of playing professional hockey. As you know, this is a long shot for most athletes. But we never stomped on his dream. We told him 'you can do anything you want to do if you set your mind to it'. Check out this interview with Connor talking about his goalie helmet. It brought tears to my eyes. My son, living the dream.
Norm, the coach for UMass Lowell took a chance on Connor. I am so thankful for the opportunities that others provided him because they saw something - potential.
My favorite photo! My son had just turned 18, and the Texas Jackalopes saw that same something, potential. They gave Connor ('Bucky') his first chance to show the world how much he loved hockey. And that hockey would always be a part if his world. Thank you, Jacks!!!
