Utah Hockey Club Reinstates Connor Ingram

Connor Ingram has returned to the Utah Hockey Club after a prolonged absence due to an upper-body injury and personal tragedy following the death of his mother in December. Ingram confirmed that he took time off to grieve, but recently completed a successful conditioning stint with the Tucson Roadrunners, where he recorded a .967 save percentage in his first AHL game since the 2021-22 season. Jaxson Stauber, who stepped in during Ingram's absence, has been reassigned to Tucson after impressing with a 2-1-1 record and the franchise's first shutout. Ingram's statistics from earlier this season show he struggled with a 6-4-3 record and 3.61 goals-against average before his injury. Meanwhile, Karel Vejmelka has emerged as a strong contender for the starting role, boasting impressive numbers since Ingram's injury. The team now faces a critical decision on how to allocate goaltending responsibilities moving forward.
