Utah Hockey Club goaltender Connor Ingram has entered the NHL player assistance program for the second time in his career. After losing his mother to breast cancer earlier in the season, Ingram decided to prioritize his mental health and step away from the team to seek care. General manager Bill Armstrong confirmed that Ingram is in a good place in the program, but his future with the club remains uncertain.
Ingram’s absence led to Karel Vejmelka taking over as the No. 1 starter for the Club, breaking recent NHL records with a 23-game streak. However, the team lacked a reliable second goaltender, making the position a priority for Armstrong in the offseason. With promising prospect Michael Hrabal still years away from being NHL-ready, finding a suitable backup for Vejmelka is crucial for the team’s success.
Armstrong mentioned that discussions about the goaltending situation will be a focus during upcoming hockey meetings as the team looks to build depth and improve for the next season. The future of Connor Ingram with Utah Hockey Club remains uncertain, but the team is committed to supporting him in his journey to recovery.
