Connor Kurth is coming off a 2020-21 season that saw the Dubuque forward named USHL Scholar Athlete of the Year, make the USHL All-Rookie Second Team and be ranked by NHL Central Scouting all as a rookie skater. Kurth will try to help the Fighting Saints make it 11-straight postseason appearances this season.
"Connor had a terrific rookie season in the USHL. With a full year in the league under his belt, we expect him to take even more of a leadership role this year. He is also a player we expect offensive contributions from on a consistent basis."

"We look forward to another season playing in front of our great fans in Dubuque. They came out and supported our team last season during a year like no other. Hopefully, things will be more “normal” this year and we are excited to take the ice at Mystique Community Ice Center in front of our great fans and supporters again. Our core of returners is solid and our incoming players have valuable experience from both junior leagues and international play. Hence, there is going to be fierce competition for spots on the final roster and we look forward to another season of Fighting Saints hockey."
