Drew O’Connor’s big summer: new contract, graduating college

It was a big summer for Drew O’Connor that started off by representing Team USA at the World Championships (and being among the highest-scoring players on the team). He also celebrated his 25th birthday in June and signed a two-year contract with the Penguins to pay him a total of $1.85 million in August. But those achievement pale in comparison to earning a degree from an Ivy League school, which he also found the time to do.

Former @Dartmouth_MIH standout Drew O’Connor returned to campus this summer to finish his degree and work out ahead of the @penguins season.
