Conners urges Int'l team to embrace Canadians' support at Presidents Cup
BANK ON AMAZING ATMOSPHERE

The International players enjoyed some team bonding ahead of the Presidents Cup in one of the most Canadian ways imaginable: By attending a Montreal Canadiens pre-season ice hockey game.

It was Corey Conners' first time visiting Montreal's Bell Centre, a building he called "unbelievable", packed with history and with fans.

The Canadian is not a first-timer this week at the Presidents Cup at Royal Montreal Golf Club. He made his debut in the competition in 2022, and he played at the same venue in 2014 when it hosted the Canadian Open.

What is new for Conners is the chance to be one of the central figures of this International team and the object of the home crowd's affections and hopes.

"Embracing the Canadian fans," Conners said on Sept 24, when asked what he wants to see from his team.
