Northeast Forward Connor makes NCAA Commitment

The Northeast Generals of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) are proud to announce that forward Finn Connor has committed to play NCAA hockey for Suffolk University in the Conference of New England (CNE).

The 6-foot skater from Hampton, New Hampshire, will head to Boston, Massachusetts, to skate for the Rams in the fall. Connor is a second-year member of the Northeast Generals, having played in 100 regular-season games for the East Division team. This past season, the ‘05 lefty played in 46 regular season games for the Generals, recording seven goals and seven assists. Two of his tallies were named game-winning goals, while three were scored on the man advantage. So far in the 2026 postseason, Connor has notched two points in five games played. He has scored a goal and made an assist.

In his rookie season with the Massachusetts-based team, the 21-year-old played in 54 games. He registered 15 points in that span. Connor found twine five times while notching 10 assists for the Generals.

Head coach of the Generals, Bryan Erikson, shares more on Connor’s skillset.

“Finn Connor is an absolutely electric hockey player. He has roadrunner speed. Just an absolute weapon for us in all phases of the game.  When Finn played for our 16U Academy several years ago, you could see his potential. He had a great career at Proctor Academy and then came to us last year.  He has put in a ton of work to better utilize his speed, changing speeds, and using chips to put himself in a better position on the rush.

Erikson shares more on where he has seen Connor grow the most on the ice and off of it.

“He has taken a huge step in the offensive zone, always taking pucks to the dangerous areas, taking and giving hits, but what I am so proud of with Finn is who he is as a person. Always a smile, always a kind word for a teammate. He’s just a great human who is loved by everyone who knows him. Going to Suffolk is a great fit for him. Coach McEachern played with a ton of speed in his days and loves the speed Finn will bring to a very good Suffolk team. Finn should step in on day one and be a big contributor in all phases of the game. He is a great human being that we can’t wait to see excel both on and off the ice at a great school like Suffolk.”

Connor is one of six members of the Northeast Generals to make a college ice hockey commitment.
