The Utah Hockey Club has announced that goaltender Connor Ingram has entered the National Hockey League Player Assistance Program. Ingram, who tragically lost his mother to breast cancer in December, explained in a social media post that he hasn't been feeling like himself and that he'd be away indefinitely while receiving care, via The Bluefield Daily Telegraph. “At this point in my life, I need to put my health first and (to) take the proper time I need away to come back at 100%,” Ingram said.
