The '02 native of Anchorage, AK came to the Eastern Hockey League (EHL) late in the 2021-22 season. Combining the finishing stretch of that year with this past season, and Conlon finishes his junior hockey career having played in 55 total EHL games. Along the way, the veteran defenseman tallied 18 total points to his credit on a trio of goals and 15 assists.

“Chase was a defenseman that we could use in every situation,” said Spartans head coach and general manager Brett Tryder. “He does a lot of things at a very high level. He was one of the leaders of our team, setting the bar, both on and off the ice. Chase is our second commitment to Salem State and there is no better fit. He will be a very good college player and should be an immediate asset to Salem’s team and campus. I am looking forward to watching Chase continue his growth at Salem State.”

As Tryder mentioned, Conlon went down in the books as the second Spartan to commit to Salem State for this upcoming fall. However, shortly after Conlon made his commitment, another player from Seacoast followed right in line. Therefore, when Conlon arrives on campus this fall, he will enjoy the comfort of already knowing and having played previously with both Carson Whitman and Carson James.

"I enjoyed my time at Seacoast mainly because of Coach Tryder and Coach [Paul] Walker, as well as the opportunities that came forth," said Conlon. "Seacoast has made me a better player and person in addition to opening up the college pathway for me at Salem State. I am very excited about my next four years at Salem, and I look forward to playing for a team with a great hockey history and culture. Thank you to everyone at Seacoast for the past two seasons!"
