GREENSBORO, NC – In a move bolstering their crease depth, the Greensboro Gargoyles today announced that they have acquired goaltender Connor Ungar on loan from the Edmonton Oilers organization. Ungar becomes the second NHL-contracted netminder on the Gargoyles roster alongside fellow goalie Ruslan Khazheyev.
Ungar, 23, is in his first professional season after a standout junior career in the WHL and U Sports. The Calgary, Alberta native spent last season in Fort Wayne. He appeared in 41 games in 2023-24 for Brock University where he posted a .932 save percentage and 2.15 goals-against average. Before that, Ungar spent four seasons in the WHL with Red Deer, Moose Jaw, and Brandon, earning the league’s Goaltender of the Year honors in 2022–23 after leading the WHL with a .925 save percentage.
Ungar joined the team today and will be flying with the Gargoyles to Canada as they prepare to face Trois-Riviers in a three-game series.
The Gargoyles return home to the First Horizon Coliseum on Thursday, November 6 against the Wheeling Nailers as they open a six game home stand. Greensboro will honor the nation’s military Friday, November 7 and Saturday, November 8 for Veteran’s Weekend, featuring Marvel themed jerseys.
