Connor Zary of Calgary Flames talks rookie season, McDavid, Canucks, Blazers, Sopotyk

Connor Zary has become a rookie sensation with the Calgary Flames.

The 22-year-old forward played for the Kamloops Blazers in the WHL from 2017 to 2021 before the Flames nabbed him 24th overall in Round 1 of the 2020 NHL Draft.

Zary hopped on a Zoom call with Marty Hastings of Kamloops Last Week on Friday, Jan. 19, the day after his third-period goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs was disallowed and the day before his Flames played host to Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.

Topics include his rookie season in the NHL, McDavid, Kyrell Sopotyk, the Vancouver Canucks, the Flames’ recent dads’ trip and his time with the Blazers.
