The most decorated player in the program’s history, 2011 Canisius College graduate Cory Conacher of Burlington, Ontario, has joined the Norfolk Admirals of the AHL, the top affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning. Conacher finished his career with the Golden Griffin hockey program with 12 career, single season and single game records.
During his tenure at Canisius, Conacher enjoyed one of the most successful careers in the program’s history. A two-time all-conference selection and the 2009-10 Atlantic Hockey Player of the Year, he owns the program’s standards with 147 career points, 62 career goals and 12 career game-winning tallies.
Conacher made his professional debut last season after finishing his collegiate career with the Golden Griffins. The forward scored one goal in two games with the Rochester Americans of the AHL before totaling seven points in only three games with the Cincinnati Cyclones of the ECHL, which included his first professional hat trick and a four-point game. Conacher then finished the season with the Milwaukee Admirals of the AHL, posting three goals and five points in five regular season games before notching an assist in seven Calder Cup Playoff games.
