The rise of Conor Garland, edge work extraordinaire

The Rise of Conor Garland

Conor Garland, a smooth skating but relatively undersized winger, has not been a household name in the NHL.

He was completely passed over in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft, but was selected by the Arizona Coyotes in the 5th-round of the 2015 NHL Draft.

This came after a successful season with the Moncton Wildcats, where he led the QMJHL and CHL in scoring with 129 points in 67 regular season games and 25 points in 16 playoff games.

Garland's achievements earned him the award for MVP of the QMJHL and a spot on the QMJHL First All-Star team in the 2014-2015 season.

He followed up this success with 128 points in 62 regular season games in the 2015-2016 season.
