Endicott College Gulls‘ senior goaltender Conor O’Brien(30) posted a D3 best 1.41 GAA and .949 SV% through 26 games, earning a 19-6-1 record.
The 6’2″ 216 lbs. net minder posted similar numbers as a sophomore.
He took his good numbers to a 1st pro deal with Adirondack Thunder, started one ECHL game and may have not got the win, but certainly did it again, leaving a 1-0 loss with a 1.03 GAA and .971 SV%, saving 34 of 35 shots.
Through a few years of junior hockey, he finally found his spot in the NCDC with Connecticut Jr. Rangers,where he committed to school.
The 24-year old may always have to work for it and prove himself, but from past performances looks pretty sturdy.
For his rookie season, 2022/2023 he signs a 1-year deal with Indy Fuel that should have him seeing a lot of pucks.
He never tended in Indiana, instead appearing in 3 losses for Iowa Heartlanders, resulting in his release, but it took him almost a couple of months to sign with Fayettesville Marksmen, where he’s fitting in nicely through 14 SPHL games with a 2.89 GAA and .916 SV%.
