MOYNIHAN HEADING TO ALL-AMERICAN GAME
Halifax Mooseheads second year forward Connor Moynihan has been named to the CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game, to be held on Thursday, September 25th at First Niagara Center in Buffalo, New York.
Moynihan and 41 other 2015 NHL Draft eligible prospects will participate in the game. Last season, including the playoffs, the 17-year-old played in 80 games and produced 17 points and 75 penalty minutes.
“I am thrilled to be invited to play in the All-American game. My Dad called to tell me and I was very excited to hear the news,” Moynihan said.
The strapping six-foot-four inch tall forward was also named an all-star earlier this summer at the USA Hockey Under-17 Development Camp.
“I was happy to hear about the invite because it means they must have liked the way I played in Buffalo this summer at the Under-17 Camp. It will be a great opportunity to play with and against the best American players in the draft this year and in front of so many scouts.”
Connor is one of three QMJHL players to participate in the game, including Cameron Askew of the Moncton Wildcats and Shawinigan’s Dennis Yan.
Moynihan says he will fly to Buffalo on September 24th and expects to return to Halifax in time for the Mooseheads home game against Chicoutimi two days later.
