Here’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
-
Connor Ingram has been in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, with multiple updates indicating he was cleared to return to play after his involvement in the program in 2025. This includes reports of clearance in August 2025 and ongoing coverage about his return to game action for the 2025-26 season. These developments were reported by The Hockey News and related outlets in mid-2025 and late-2025.[1][5]
-
Prior to those clearance updates, there were reports in March 2025 that Ingram entered the program following personal and family bereavement, with acknowledgments that he would be unavailable for an indefinite period. This context is noted in multiple outlets dating from March 2025.[2]
-
There have also been earlier on-ice incidents involving Ingram, including a mask-related incident in 2024 and a separate injury/exit in 2025 caused by on-ice contact, though these events are not linked to the Player Assistance Program; they are separate hockey-related incidents.[3][8][9]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific team (e.g., Utah Mammoth/NHL club affiliations) and provide a timeline.
- Pull exact dates and article titles for the key clearance announcements.
- Look for any public statements from the NHL/NHLPA on his status and return-to-play timeline.
Would you like me to focus on a particular aspect or fetch the direct article links? I can also summarize the most recent developments in a quick timeline.
