Sometimes in team sports, individual performances can shine regardless of the team records. That is what Connor Mackey was able to achieve this past season with the Stockton Heat.
Mackey started his first professional season by earning a spot on the Calgary Flames taxi squad and getting his NHL debut shortly after. After a couple of games up with the Flames, he was assigned to the Stockton Heat for the majority of the season before getting some time in the last three games for the Flames. Based on his play in just a single, modified season, Mackey shows the potential to be an everyday face on the Flames blue line next season.
