j0sH092 my guy I’m a 13 year old phenom hockey player

[@JoystickJoyrides]

Been a fan of you since your 1st game as a Leaf.Your effort and heart immediately stood out on a bleak lineup. Honestly feel like you will be a coach in the NHL eventually, but you still have a long playing career ahead of you first.

[@Cargs214]

Excited to have you in Jersey for at least 2 more years Connor!

[@Nesanfurtado]

This is the content we want to see from players! Great job on this piece

[@whitexsnipes834]

[@thedannygarciashow4756]

Awesome video man. It’s really cool to see a guy in the best league in the world be so humble yet so dedicated to the sport he loves. Don’t stop man, keep up the grind. Hope you have a career year playing for Jersey.

[@happygilmore290]

[@angelodipersico3006]

Hey bud, I'm a trainer and sports nutritionist in Vancouver and I loved this video! Smart and insightful. Keep up the great content and good luck this season!

[@joemomma17]

Thank you for this insightful video. Really loved the part where you talk about how your loved ones made so many sacrifices for you to pursue your dreams and do what you love so you can get to where you are now, and how to want to make good on those sacrifices for them. It really shows how professional athletes are people and have emotions as well, which is a huge thing most fans forget about, and need to learn. Thank you for sharing that aspect with us. Looking forward to watching you play and grow more this year with the Devils. Good luck, and congrats on the contract!

[@sollylama945]

I really respect your approach to day to day sacrifice. Your humility is evident and I believe you’re a great hockey player but a even better guy. I’ll be cheering you on this season. Hopefully catch you live one day.

[@Rubensitoc]

Hey man best of luck for the upcoming season!!!

[@ChrisSpurvey]

Outstanding video Conner!! Big time inspiration. Consistency is the name of the game in life.

[@gtzray]

Talk about a well put together video and a raw inside look at at how much hockey's players go through on and off the ice. Super stoked for ya bud! I've been following all your offseason workouts at Tomahawk in Chi.

[@shawnobrien3223]

Connor, this is a great video, insightful and honest. Well done, good luck in your upcoming season.

[@skrtskrt925]

Whatta guy. Welcome to New Jersey Connor. We are pumped to have you, it's going to be an exciting season and we can't wait to see you in red and black.

[@mitchellman32]

Loved you at a Leaf Conner! My favorite coffee and puppy enthusiast leaf and hope you have a great season on NJ. As a goalie who knows I can't move much father up, this video was so cool for me to see how you train, eat and think and I can definitely take from this video and move forward. Lastly, that steak at 9:12 looks absolutely amazing.

[@jlaufer27]

Gained a big fan here, Connor. Wishing you the best of luck moving forward!

[@petroniaskho]

Great to see a young pro hockey player being so thoughtful and insightful. Inspiring.

[@Sandb0xx]

Big Devil fan. Would love to see more of you, your mindset, work ethic, and etc throughout the season to see what it is really like.

[@MrGregpayne99]

Great video Connor!!! Love this behind the scenes stuff

[@AlecKaranikolas]

Now I’m even more excited for the season

[@ryankoehler3170]

One of the coolest videos and when inhesrd uncle jory say cigars.....inwas all ears. Very proud Con. I remember taking youngins to a few practices to arctic. You have truly become a top professional. Good on ya man.

[@inamh7553]

That was really motivational. Thank you Connor. I really connected with making due to people who have sacrificed around me. I am currently working in a high pressure/stress career as well. I have a lot to be grateful for, but need to start practicing gratitude, as well gaining mental clarity from a healthy lifestyle, as I have been letting the stress get in the way. Best of luck on the upcoming season. Regards, A fan of yours from Toronto

[@stephendass6835]

Yo this is so well shot how the heck?!

[@colinandpaige]

Thanks bro!

[@shogekimura]

Gotta say I’m surprised how much more mature you are compared to other videos I’ve seen of pretty much any other athlete. Loving family goes a long way and it seems like ya have it. Good on ya man good luck this upcoming season.

[@koltvskolt]

as a leafs fan. this guy is an all around epic when it comes to being a professional and hes an even better person. his overall defensive awareness seemed to be questionable when he was a leaf, however that was some time ago and sometimes the fit just isnt right. he also has a cannon of a shot much like subban. low stinger. miss hearing him speak and i wish him the best in NJ. also can we talk about how he took it upon himself to make a KZbin channel and have someone film and piece this together? amazing connor miss ya from toronto

[@Christa613]

I really like the idea of gratitude practice. I'm resolving to start doing that.

[@kgerbs6090]

Absolute beauty ❤️

[@khknucklehead]

Your commitment to growth is inspirational. Such a dope video! I hope more content like this is in the works.

[@ConnorCarrickHockey]

Working on it!

[@nicketchells5215]

What an intelligent, articulate, impressive young man. Loved this video. Well done.

[@jeremiah1528]

God bless this kid... in JESUS precious name Father...I pray you would bless him spiritually and physically LORD. Keep him healthy and enable him to achieve success in the NHL Father. Save him LORD and glorify Yourself thru him... in JESUS name... GOD BLESS YOU !!! Not the typical person... Great comment...

[@russianrings]

[@vittorio177]

I’ve always loved you Connor, but now I love you even more

[@alexsimioni5047]

Awesome video!! Very well spoken

[@Mopo3oB44]

I found you from a video showing good examples of the umbrella pp. Number 58 on the caps looked so smooth. No idea why they let you get away

[@shawnhayden-jobin8215]

Congrats buddy. Goodluck in Jersey.

[@ryankoehler3170]

I was just at your dads. Were supposed to go fishing soon. Video is super cool man!

[@byroncrowell1127]

What an impressive person. I've got a 10 year old defense-man who has big hockey dreams. Can't wait to show him this inspiration.

[@Sithfury2024]

You’re a class act bud. Here’s to your future and health. Good luck.

[@RobertManlove]

Great Video! I wish more NHL players did stuff like this. Very interested to see your meals are pretty low carb - does that stay the same during the season? Do you have any fast carbs post practice / game/ workout?

[@drewv3293]

Damn can’t wait to see you play with the devils

[@owendurkin6292]

NEW SUB. Carrick's got that winner's mindset that applies to life outside of athletics. Looking forward to future epi's!

[@ConnorCarrickHockey]

Thank-you, truly. Be sure to check out the podcast too - our current focus.

[@Cthomps20]

This just inspired me

[@adam03753]

This dude is pure class

[@Brlowvgsnhdhhtdvjg]

Connor I love your work ethic I hope one day I will have that

[@louisfred]

great video!

[@Andrew-mg6ue]

Saw you 2 summers ago at Arctic in Orlando park. Looked like you were working hard, certainly stood out on the ice.

[@vahekatros]

Good luck with your season - it's nice to see the outcome of great parenting and seeing someone live up to that gift. What, no plant based proteins?

[@bradan7361]

I still remember when we was caps player about 4 or 5 years ago he came and skated with my team at practice

[@RamsinGabriel]

I know a few kids who take your classes here in Chicago. I didnt need them to reaffirm what we already knew. Youre a hell of a person, good luck in Jersey, we miss you here in Chicago.

[@ntre]

Whose classes?

[@RamsinGabriel]

@@ntre Connor had some development classes here in Chicago. I know 2 kids both named Leo who went to his classes. Both the Parents and the Kids could not stop talking about how amazing both he and his classes are.

[@ntre]

@@RamsinGabriel I see. Sorry to miss this kid there. I play at 5th/3rd too, which is why I asked. Thanks for the reply! best,

[@ECBSJ]

Good video. Go jersey!

[@hockeygmc99]

[@116thProductions]

Great video! rip it up this year!

[@6idangle]

Nice channel!

[@BTwarrior21]

Where was your on-ice workout at and was there a skills coach on the ice with you guys?

[@batt7945]

When you got the fittest leaf I knew you were a beauty with no quit.

[@noodletrooper]

Miss you as a leaf, and your adorable pup. But this video is awesome, wish you luck man, just take it a bit easy against the blue and white

[@maceino]

Keep this guy...

[@seberl722]

...Balanced 👏

[@patrickruyak7586]

Seems like a humble guy

[@colinandpaige]

it's tru

[@westendskating9899]

This is unreal

[@sidequestsally]

Human potential is limitless. We are only bound by our imagination and our willingness to work.

[@billspiggins3224]

Wished it worked out in Dallas :/

[@JP_HKY]

👍

[@thejuiceman1190]

Too bad things didnt work out in Toronto, best of luck in Jersey dude

[@KariSiltavuo]

Hi Connor! Nice video! I just wondered is it hard for you to get enough calories since you're on a low-carb diet? I'm interested about these things, because I'm training bodybuilding and even though I'm only 160 lbs, I need over 4000 kcal/day if I want to add even a small amount of weight. My coach told me that if I want my body to work in all sylinders, I need to build up my metabolism as fast as genetically possible so we did it and in a span of 6 months I went from 3000 kcal/day to 4200 kcal/day without me gaining almost any bodyfat. In this clip you told that you gained weight when eating more carbs, what also is true, because carbs are one thing to hold water in your body. But if you gained big amounts of fat, maybe you just ate too much calories total? Let's go Devils!

[@tmlfan7785]

KariSiltavuo don’t worry about calories, eat whole foods until you feel a little too full. Worrying about calories will lead you down a very dark path

[@KariSiltavuo]

@@tmlfan7785 Actually it is very good to track your calories and macros. I only have good things to say about that. People can feel full and still eat way too less and also feel hungry even they are eating enough. Athletes bodies work much better when they are eating more calories than they burn. And I mean when you're eating healthy, not junk food.

[@tmlfan7785]

KariSiltavuo no, tracking calories and macros almost always leads to an eating disorder of some kind. It is not natural, if you want to deal with mental health consequences, go right ahead, don’t bitch to me or anyone else when you’ve got a gun to your head and everybody you know thinks your craz

[@KariSiltavuo]

@@tmlfan7785 "almost always" isn't the truth. I don't know a single person who's got an eating disorder from tracking calories and/or macros. But it can cause it, I don't say that. But I'm quite sure a large portion of people with eating disorder of some kind don't even track calories/macros. Good example people who are obese. But the thing is that people don't have enough knowledge about these things, so many times they eat way too less or way too much. That's why you have professionals to help you. That's what I did and I feel better than ever. So don't worry about me. I'm in a good hands. :)

[@tmlfan7785]

KariSiltavuo good luck, all the power too you.

Order, chaos...Jordan b Peterson? I bet you have a clean room too. You have to check out The Wave - by Akira the Don. This is a perfect example of what is said in that song!

[@rishilaird1844]

Ummm more of these pls

[@johnlukach4091]

Trust me I want you to pan out. We need all the help on our blue line that we can get.

[@cobeetrice]

How does low carb work during the season? I mean hockey is a pretty glycogen dependent sport. How are you playing in the NHL on low carb I guess is my question.

[@JM-yn8mb]

Kind of sounds like Babcock

[@jrbluehen35]

It hurt me to see needles go through the lululemon shorts

[@ConnorCarrickHockey]

Gotta keep it PG

[@charlessites8306]

Really sucked to see you go. Wish nothing but success for you.
