In a surprising move, 21-year-old forward Connor McClennon and the Chicago Wolves decided to part ways, starting a new chapter in his hockey journey.

Originally picked by the Philadelphia Flyers in the 6th round of the 2020 draft, Connor chose a different path, joining the Chicago Wolves.

At 5'8", Connor, though smaller, has wowed fans with his on-ice skills.

As he says goodbye to the Wolves, fans are excited to see where this talented player goes next and if it's another NHL organization, staying in Chicago so he does not have to relocate, possibly signing with the Chicago Blackhawks.
