In this edition of 100% Canucks, John Shannon and Landon Ferraro sit down with Drew O’Connor to talk about his path to the NHL and his experience with the Vancouver Canucks.

O’Connor reflects on his hockey journey from Dartmouth to professional hockey, including stops in Norway and the AHL, before eventually landing in Vancouver. He discusses how his game has developed over time, the role video work has played in that growth, and how he’s adjusted to playing in Canada compared to the United States.

They also discuss:

• The challenges of transitioning from college hockey to the pros
• Building confidence and consistency at the NHL level
• Working with a video coach to refine his game
• His early impressions of Vancouver and the Canucks fan base
• Personal goals and what he wants from the next stage of his career

A thoughtful conversation with a player who’s taken a unique route to the NHL and is continuing to grow in Vancouver.
