MacFarland further praised O’Connor’s speed and skating skills, which make him a formidable two-way player. O’Connor’s value is further underscored by his proficiency in penalty killing, which is among the best in the team.

“Logan is not just an exceptional player, but also a great teammate who takes immense pride in contributing to the Denver community,” MacFarland added.
