The Coquitlam Express has acquired 2002-born goaltender Connor Mackenzie from the Hawkesbury Hawks of the Central Canada Hockey League for future considerations.

Mackenzie, who hails from Toronto, ON, was 4-0 with a 2.21 goals-against-average, and a .915 save percentage in four games with the Hawks during the CCHL’s developmental scrimmage action in 2020-21.

He was acquired by Hawkesbury from the Whitby Fury of the Ontario Junior Hockey League in February. Mackenzie went 14-17-1 with a 3.45 goals-against-average, a .911 save percentage, and one shutout in 35 games with the Fury in 2019-20.
