SAN JOSE – Former University of Massachusetts hockey captain Conor Sheary has won the Stanley Cup Championship with the Pittsburgh Penguins, who posted a series-clinching 3-1 victory in Game 6 over the San Jose Sharks and fellow UMass hockey alum Justin Braun on Sunday night. Sheary is the second former Minuteman to win a Stanley Cup, joining goaltender Jonathan Quick, a two-time Stanley Cup champion with the Los Angeles Kings in 2012 and 2014. Sheary saw action in 23 of the Penguins’ 24 postseason contests in the 2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs, totaling four goals and six assists, including the overtime game-winner in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final and an assist on the game-winner of the deciding Game 6. He finished with three points (2g, 1a) in the six-game series vs. the Sharks. The Melrose, Mass., native, made his NHL debut on Dec. 16, 2015, and appeared in 44 regular season games with Pittsburgh in 2015-16, logging 10 points on seven goals and three assists. In July 2015, Sheary received a two-year entry-level NHL contract with the Penguins, remaining with the organization that first signed him to an ATO following the conclusion of his senior season at UMass in 2013-14. In his first full professional campaign, Sheary led the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in scoring in 2014-15 with 45 points on 20 goals and 25 assists over 58 games. He burst onto the AHL scene during the Calder Cup Playoffs in 2014 after appearing in just two regular season games while on an ATO with Wilkes-Barre/Scranton. Sheary was one of the top point producers in the AHL during the postseason in 2014 with 11 points (6g, 5a) over 15 games and continued the torrid scoring pace in the 2015 Calder Cup Playoffs with 12 points (5g, 7a) in eight games. Sheary finished his four-year collegiate career with 104 points on 38 goals and 66 assists, including 12 power-play tallies, three short-handed goals and three game winners. He became the 12th player in UMass history to reach the century mark in points and ranks in the top-15 all-time in career assists (t-7th), points (8th), shorthanded goals (t-8th), power-play goals (t-14th) and goals (t-15th).
