WHAT THEY ARE SAYING ABOUT CONNOR
"He just swashbuckles his way through defenders, cutting through them like a hot knife through butter, with quick twitch hands, upper-body deception, and a just plain gifted touch. That gifted touch drives Kurth’s best point-getting tool -- his shot. No matter the degree of difficulty on the pass, always bet on Kurth one or two-touching it directly into his shooting motion."-Elite Prospects
"A very quick-on-his-feet forward who can create good scoring chances in the offensive zone. He has a great motor and is apt at accelerating. Uses his speed to cover a lot of the ice. Very efficient at cleaning up rebounds and finishing plays in the slot. Creates offensive chances and gets pucks into high danger areas. A consistent passer who can create good scoring chances for his team. Drives hard to the net and is not averse to faking a pass to the slot to freeze a defender. Strong deke skills, and able to switch from forehand to backhand to tuck the puck in. Can cause a lot of havoc in the neutral zone for opposing teams."
