The rise of Conor Garland, edge work extraordinaire

The Rise of Conor Garland

Conor Garland, a smooth-skating winger, has not been a household name in the NHL. He was passed over in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft and was only selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 5th-round of the 2015 NHL Draft.

Garland's impressive performance in the QMJHL and CHL, where he led in scoring with 129 points in 67 regular season games and 25 points in 16 playoff games for the Moncton Wildcats during the 2014-2015 season, earned him the award for MVP of the QMJHL and a spot on the QMJHL First All-Star team.

In the 2015-2016 season, Garland continued to impress with 128 points in 62 regular season games.

He was a relatively undersized winger, but his edge work was extraordinaire.
