The inspiration for Conner Tanner to begin playing hockey in the first place was because of his father Conor Tanner, who was inspired by his father Connor Tanner. Hockey has become an identity for the Tanner's to the point in which it is a borderline unhealthy obsession. When Connor first started hockey though, it was after a large crisis with the Portland Admirals that caused the franchise to go under, and as a person with an unhealthy obsession with drama, he had to find a deeper understanding of what caused the drama, which is why he immediately declared for the SHL draft, as a person who had never played hockey before. He passed on this love for both drama and hockey to his son, and eventually grandson which now brings us to defensemen Conner Tanner of the Minnesota Monarchs, who feels as though he has done his best to honour his grandfathers legacy. If not, tough cookies old man.
