When Conor Tanner was just a young boy he was already surrounded by the constant of hockey. Before he could walk he could skate, before he could talk he could chirp. His first word was "Duster" after he father Connor Tanner would continuously chirp the other team relentlessly no matter winning or losing.

When he was three he entered a five and under league and he lead the league in goals scoring an impressive seventeen, probably assisted by the fact that the goalies were barely capable of keeping themselves upstraight let alone stopping shots from an impressive three year old.

By the time he was five and had graduated from the league he was skating faster than anyone else on the ice, essentially skating circles around the competition, putting up an unruly seventy five points in only thirty two regular season games. He was a winner and obessed with winning from a very young age. He always was a phenom and will continue be one throughout his time in the SHL.
