Welcome back to another Meet your Maulers! In this article you will get to meet forward #22 Connor McNally! Suggested by Auzzie Auzzinnaro, it was time to switch the questions up and I agreed 100%! I actually tested out the new questions with Auzzie and it went over well and so I decided to interview Connor with the same set. McNally is 6 ft 0 in, 180 lbs, is from Wayne, Pennsylvania, USA, and is a '94. He played for the Maulers in the 2012-2013 when they were still in the AWHL. In that season he had 1 goal in 40 games played, 6 assists, 7 TPs, 61 PIMs, and a +/- of -4. I am very excited that Connor is back because he was such a huge force last year and so far he is this year as well. Not only does he have strong scoring capabilities, but his physical play is outstanding! If there was an opposing player and he saw McNally rushing down the ice he would with no doubt have to brace himself for bone rattling impact. He isn't afraid to stand up for his team mates or his own game. I am so glad that Connor decided to rejoin the team! I hope you all enjoy the new questions and here they are!

11. Best hockey memory?

CM: I scored on a clapper from the point on a power play and exploded the goalie's water bottle, then went up to him and asked if I could have a sip.

12. Worst rink you have ever played in?

CM: Probably this place back home called "the rink" the locker rooms were 15 feet by 15, and you had to walk out of the locker room to take a shower....Also on the ice about every 20 feet there were support beams that ran across over the ice. You could hit it with your stick if you tried

16. If you had to be stuck on a desert island with anyone in the world who would it be? Anyone on the team?

CM: If I was stuck I'd want Z there with me because his survival instincts are pretty neat. Also Manning cause he would catch us fish, and I can't catch fish even if you tossed one at me

17. Anything you would like to tell the fans?

CM: Best fans in the league! They really do give us home ice advantage

18. Which NHL player would you want to go one on one with?

   I had a great time talking with Connor because he is a major beauty and really understands the hockey lifestyle! I can't wait to watch more of McNally out on the ice and see what physical plays he can bring out this year! Thank you very much it was a great pleasure and good luck with the Maulers Connor!
