First
Love the videos, please keep doing awesome stuff!
I play hockey myself and hope to be like him someday
Follow your dreams and that is the most powerful thing to do. Congrats Connor!
Hiiii
TOE DRAG RELEASEE
Amazing video! Can’t believe I came this early!
Mom's a smokeshow
She found bed bugs I know that look from anywhere.
dude this kid is getting so much media attention watch him turn out to be bust in major leagues just saying dont hate me because i feel like im going to be right he's playing for a time who's on rebuilding season and rebuilding for few years at that
Sucks he is on the Blackhawks though
all bro was thinking about is how he didnt go to vancouver
Yeah, experts said was to young and small for exceptional status in the WHL. Would never make the World Juniors as a 16yr old. He will struggle with a bad Regina team and the pressure will get to him😅😂
Only problem I have with this video is it’s not long enough!! 😂
Your Grandpa must of looked under 30❤
Only 17 years old!!
I wish more people were like Connor – humble, hardworking and good for society. 😀 Hope he turns out to be like that 🙂 all the way!
Man, if his Grandpa could see him now. Holy cow
