BREAKING NEWS: The Utah Mammoth’s goalie Connor Ingram has been officially cleared by the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program and is free to return to the NHL. Ingram, 28, entered the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program after the death of his mother on March 9, 2025, and missed the remainder of the 2024-25 NHL season. He spent the entirety of the summer in the program but will now begin preparing for the 2025-26 NHL season. Back in March, Ingram took to social media to announce that he was entering the program to receive care and deal with the loss of his mother. He had this to say [https://x.com/CBIngram1/status/1898796482058506483?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1898796482058506483%7Ctwgr%5E0b950bfeac06a5aca268066222f5dce8a6dc0823%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportsnet.ca%2Fnhl%2Farticle%2Futah-hc-goaltender-connor-ingram-enters-enters-player-assistance-program%2F]: “At this point in my life, I need to put my health first and take the proper time I need away to come back at 100%,” Ingram said. “Though many view the program as a resource for substance abuse, I want to recognize all that they do. I am once again privileged to have access to their network of world-class health professionals to hopefully avoid long-term negative effects of putting your health second. With the program’s assistance, I look forward to getting the medical help I need and returning to a happy and healthy life.” Now, just five months later, he has been cleared and will return to the Mammoth’s organization next month when 2025-26 training camp and preseason begins. This is great news for Ingram first and foremost, as well as for the organization and fan base, who will now get to see him back in NHL action after receiving the help he needed.
