Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
2007-08: Connauton impressed many in AJHL (Alberta Junior Hockey League) when he tallied 45 points in 56 games in 2007-08.
2008-09: He then followed that performance at Western Michigan University with seven goals and 11 assists in 40 games.
Talent Analysis
He is not an overly physical player but can still play the body when needed. His best assets are his ability to make plays from the blue line and his patience and poise while in possession of the puck. Connauton has a smooth stride and good foot speed, and is a potential power play quarterback.
Future
Connauton is still years away from the NHL, but his respectable freshman year and continuing development in the NCAA should make him an offensively minded defenseman at the next level.
