WINDSOR, Colo. - The Colorado Eagles, proud affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, announced Saturday that they have signed forward Conor O'Donnell to a Professional Tryout Agreement. The 6-foot, 200-pound winger captured a Memorial Cup Championship with the Windsor Spitfires in 2009 and spent the past two seasons competing overseas with Heilbronner Falken, DVTK Jegesmedev and Lyon.
"Conor is a player that we have been tracking since he played at the college level in Canada," said Eagles head coach Aaron Schneekloth. "He is a two-way forward that plays with a lot of grit to his game and now with two seasons under his belt in Europe, we are excited to see what he can bring to the ice for us."
The 26 year-old native of Hamilton, Ontario posted 80 points and 225 penalty minutes in 202 games with the Spitfires, Brampton Battalion and Guelph Storm during his time in the OHL. He would go on to generate 134 points in 108 CIS contests with Nipissing University in Canada.
Season tickets for the 2016-17 season are on-sale now and can be reserved with a $50 deposit per seat by calling the Eagles ticket office at 970-686-SHOT (7468). The 2016-17 regular season home schedule kicks off on Saturday, October 15th when the Eagles host the Rapid City Rush. A complete schedule can be found at www.ColoradoEagles.com.
