Description
Conor Geekie has had a crazy 12 months - a deep playoff run with the Winnipeg Ice, a sudden franchise relocation to Wenatchee with a change of coaching staff, Coyotes Development Camp and Main Camp , a terrific start to his third WHL season and a selection to Team Canada and a ticket to Sweden for the World Junior Championships. Geekie got a lot of attention in Sweden. Whether it was hanging and joking with his new best friend Macklin Celebrini, the size of the tape knob on his stick, his warm up routine, or his 5 minute major and game misconduct 11 seconds into the Germany game... Geekie seemed to find a way into the spotlight.At 6'4" and over 200 pounds, Geekie is naturally hard not to notice. But when you combine his size with his infectious smile and skills on the ice, he becomes impossible to miss. Conor Geekie is used to the attention though. Not only has he always been in the spotlight himself - a 2nd overall WHL draft selection and an 11th overall selection in the 2022 NHL entry by the Phoenix Coyotes - he was able to watch his older brother and mentor, Morgan Geekie of the Boston Bruins, blaze the trail before him.Backed a strong and supportive family, Conor carries a maturity with him that is well beyond his years.We get into it all in this episode. I hope you enjoy it.
