Summary
Owen Allard, Tucson Roadrunners’ forward and AHL rookie sensation, is back for his second pro season with eyes on playoff glory—and a mission to become a force to be reckoned with. Last year, he dazzled with 19 points, fourth among rookies, proving his speed and physicality can thrive in the tougher AHL grind. Now, as the most experienced player at Utah’s development camp, he’s mentoring younger prospects while sharpening his game—focusing on puck control, smarter decisions, and becoming a harder player to handle. With coaching staff raving about his growth and leadership, Allard’s goal? To defy fifth-round pick odds and carve out a vital role as a gritty, reliable power forward who commands respect on and off the ice.
