The Saskatoon native announced his retirement on Instagram after a career that included a stint as Edmonton's starting goaltender in 2025-26.
Connor Ingram announced his retirement from the NHL on Instagram Friday, ending a five-season career. The 29-year-old goaltender last played for the Edmonton Oilers in 2025-26 after being traded from the Utah Mammoth, having become an unrestricted free agent following the final year of his three-year, US$5.85 million contract.
Ingram rose through the Oilers organization via their AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, before becoming Edmonton's primary goaltender. In his lone season with the team, he posted a 16-10-3 record with a 2.60 goals-against average and .899 save percentage across 32 regular-season games, plus five playoff appearances.
A third-round pick by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2016 (88th overall), Ingram also played for the Nashville Predators and the Arizona Coyotes/Utah Mammoth franchise. Over 134 career games, he finished with a 55-54-18 record, nine shutouts, a 3.01 GAA and a .901 save percentage.
