Nevada Signs Welsh Wonderkid - Aleris - 06-28-2021
Local lad Conner Snooks was signed post draft last week by the Nevada Battleborn in the SMJHL. It was reported earlier that Snooks’ agent was using funds to vacation in Aruba rather than sign Snooks up for the SMJHL Entry draft.
The story apparently made it into the hands of multiple SMJHL GMs who were touched by Conner Snooks unfortunate situation. Overnight Conner became the hottest Welsh sporting venture since Wrexham AFC.
In an interview via Discord. Conner told us that he decided on Nevada because “it’s the only place you can legally bet on footy in the States”. He also brought up the incredible atmosphere of the Nevada locker room. “We’re just a diverse cast of characters trying to have fun out on the ice.” Conner then went on to describe the team as the Breakfast Club meets the Mighty Ducks (the 1st one). “We are literally all rookies, probably the youngest squad in the SMJHL.”
Nevada Battleborn jersey sales have become the number one import into Wales, as hockey fever as gripped the region. “Maybe Wales could field their own international squad someday, just like football” joked Conner. Plans to build an “ice palace” have begun in Swansea. A local Jack Army member was quoted saying “We’re better than those slobs from Cardiff in footy, and it’s high time we show them we’re better on an ice rink as well.” Of course in reference to the Cardiff Devils who dominate the small Great Britain ice hockey scene.
Conner Snooks will spend a season in the SMJHL before being drafted by an SHL team, the world’s premier ice hockey league.
