TAMPA, Fla. — Avalanche forward Logan O’Connor further etched his name in Colorado hockey history by becoming the 33rd player all-time to win an NCAA national championship and a Stanley Cup.
O’Connor, 25, helped the University of Denver win the 2017 NCAA title in Chicago and he hoisted the Stanley Cup with the Avs on Sunday after a 2-1 Final-clinching victory over Tampa Bay at Amalie Arena.
“It hasn’t sunk in,” O’Connor said of winning both titles within five years. “I don’t know when it will. It’s awesome just sharing this with friends, family, all the guys.
