Margaret Joan Connors was born October 22, 2000, in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador, to cardiologists Sean Connors and Susan Fagan.[1] [2] She began playing ice hockey at the age of four, first participating in local boy's hockey leagues.[3] When she was ten years old, Connors won a contest to spend a day with members of the Canada women's national ice hockey team, including her childhood idol Natalie Spooner.[4] In 2013, Connors enrolled at Shattuck-Saint Mary's in Faribault, Minnesota, with whom she would win four national ice hockey championships in five seasons. During her final season with Shattuck, Connors recorded 75 points in 50 games.[5]
After leaving Shattuck, Connors joined the Princeton Tigers for the 2018–19 season. Between 2018 and 2023, Connors scored 78 goals with Princeton and recorded 67 assists for 145 points, the 12th-most in program history. In 2020, she was part of the team to win Princeton's first ECAC Hockey tournament title.[6]
The Toronto Sceptres of the Professional Women's Hockey League (PWHL) selected Connors in the 11th round, 62nd overall, of the 2023 PWHL draft. On October 31, 2023, she signed a two-year contract with Toronto.[7] The only player from Newfoundland and Labrador during the PWHL's inaugural 2023–24 season, Connors recorded six points in 24 regular season games.[8] She also appeared in five playoff games as the Sceptres lost to the Minnesota Frost in the semifinals.
