Michael "Mike" Johnston Condon[1] (born April 27, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey goaltender for the Ottawa Senators of the National Hockey League (NHL).

Early life

Condon was born on April 27, 1990 to Mary and Teddy Condon in Holliston, Massachusetts.[1][2] He has one older brother, Zach.[2] His father is a sergeant for the Massachusetts State Police,[2] and his mother is a real estate broker.[1] His father was involved in the manhunt of the Boston Marathon bombers.[2] Condon attended the Belmont Hill School before attending Princeton University, where he majored in politics.[1]

Playing career

As a young boy, Condon played hockey for the Boston Jr. Eagles. As a senior, he was named second-team All-Ivy League while playing for the Tigers.

Undrafted at the conclusion of his career with Princeton, Condon signed an amateur tryout agreement with the Ontario Reign of the ECHL[3] On April 7, 2013, after four games with the Reign where he went 3–1–0 with a 1.48 goals against average, Condon signed a professional tryout agreement with the Houston Aeros of the American Hockey League (AHL).[4]

On May 8, 2013, Condon signed his first professional contract with the Montreal Canadiens.[5]

On October 11, 2015, Condon started his first NHL game, leading the Canadiens to a 3–1 win against the Ottawa Senators.[6] He stopped 20 of 21 shots, only allowing one goal against from Senators forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau.[6] Senators goaltender Matt O'Connor made his NHL debut in the same game, making the two the first goaltenders to make their first NHL start on the same night since October 14, 1967.[6] On November 9, Condon was named the NHL third star of the week for his play filling in for the injured Carey Price.[7]

On October 11, 2016, Condon was claimed off waivers from the Montreal Canadiens by the Pittsburgh Penguins after being waived the previous day.[8] He would only play one period (20 minutes) in relief for the Penguins before being traded to the Ottawa Senators on November 2 for a fifth-round draft pick in 2017.[9] Condon was acquired due to Senators' starter Craig Anderson facing an uncertain future after his wife was recently diagnosed with cancer, and backup Andrew Hammond being sidelined with an injury.[10]

International play

Condon was selected as a member of the United States men's national ice hockey team at the 2016 IIHF World Championship.[11] On May 7, 2016, he started the second game of the tournament leading the United States to a 6–3 win against Belarus.[12]
