  "account": "Goaltender Connor Ingram has announced his retirement from the National Hockey League (NHL) at the age of 29. The announcement was made on his Instagram page, where he expressed gratitude, saying, “Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened. Thanks hockey, I owe ya.” Ingram’s final NHL season was with the Edmonton Oilers during the 2025-26 campaign, following a trade from the Utah Mammoth. His professional career began with the Oilers’ AHL affiliate, the Bakersfield Condors, before he went on to play for the Nashville Predators, Arizona Coyotes, and Oilers. As a third-round pick (88th overall) in the 2016 NHL draft, Ingram was signed by the Tampa Bay Lightning. Throughout his career, he compiled an impressive record of 55-54-18 in 134 games across five seasons, including nine shutouts and a 3.01 goals-against average, along with a .901 save percentage. The retired goaltender’s tenure with the Oilers spanned 32 regular-season games (30 starts) and five playoff appearances, where he posted a 16-10-3 record with a 2.60 GAA and a .899 save percentage.",
