Windy City Storm 18U
Connors offers a junior program a prospect to evaluate for movement and management of the saved puck. His 18U season supplies enough recurring responsibility to make the transition worth a closer look rather than relying on an isolated outing.
The existing opinion credits movement inside the crease and control after contact. Their team value would be limiting loose pucks near the net while allowing him to remain available for the next release.
His ranking reflects a positive youth stopping base and a technically useful development direction. The case for junior consideration is stronger if those qualities hold when attackers create a second chance before he can fully reset.
The priority is preserving his position while controlling the rebound. During an older-competition evaluation, a staff should examine whether a reach or block leaves him facing the continuing play, with an efficient recovery available.
His 2025–26 record with Windy City Storm 18U lists 31 appearances, with a 2.30 goals-against average and a .935 save percentage.
