(Rochester, NY)… Rochester Knighthawks President and General Manager Dan Carey announced today that the team has re-signed Thomas McConvey to a three-year deal.
The Toronto, Ontario, native enters his third season in the NLL in 2025-26. Last year, he finished 25th in the league with 76 points on 31 goals and 45 assists. In his two seasons with the Knighthawks, he has amassed 59 goals and 69 assists for 128 points in 35 games. McConvey was the first overall selection of the 2022 NLL Entry Draft.
He played his Junior “A” ball for the Mimico Mountaineers and was named the OJALL Most Valuable Player and Most Outstanding Player in 2019 as an 18-year-old. In his MVP year, he led Mimico with 48 goals and 57 assists in 20 regular-season games. In 2018, McConvey bagged 60 points with 25 goals and 35 assists for the Mountaineers.
“Watching him in juniors, he was just a man playing amongst boys. He was kind of that power forward but had finesse and had touch around the net,” Carey said. “I got to know him in Ireland with the U20 Canadian team and (he’s) just an amazing person.”
“If you’re taking somebody with the first overall pick, you’ve got to have everything and not just a skilled player but the total package, and I think T-Mac is that.”
At the collegiate level, McConvey played in every game from 2019 through 2022 for the University of Vermont. In that time, he set the single-season goals record as a midfielder with 60. He ended his Catamounts career third all-time in goals (127) and ninth all-time in points (174). An All-Conference selection in every season with the team, he capped off his senior year as the America-East Offensive Player of the Year.
After four seasons in Vermont, he took his talents to Klöckner Stadium for his extra year of eligibility. His season at the University of Virginia only added to his storied collegiate career.
McConvey started all 17 games for the Cavaliers in the 2022-23 season. With 28 goals and 24 assists, McConvey set the midfield single-season record for assists and tied the midfield record for points. He was named the recipient of the prestigious Lt j.g. Donald MacLaughlin Jr. Outstanding Midfielder Award. He earned All-ACC honors and was named a USILA and Inside Lacrosse First-Team All-American. After that season, he was drafted with the eighth overall pick in the Premier Lacrosse League Draft by the Philadelphia Waterdogs.
After his college career came to an end, McConvey joined the Knighthawks in 2023. As a rookie, he tallied 28 goals and 24 assists and was named to the NLL All-Rookie team. In his short career so far, McConvey has already racked up four games with over seven points. He notched his first career sock trick (six goals) against Panther City in 2024. Last season, he tallied a career-high 10 points (4+6) in a loss to the Halifax Thunderbirds.
Rochester begins the 2025-26 NLL season on Sunday, Dec. 14, with a 6:00 p.m. matchup against the San Diego Seals. The Knighthawks then return home to Segar & Sciortino Field at The Blue Cross Arena on Saturday, Dec. 20, when they host the Philadelphia Wings at 7 p.m. For ticket information, please call (585) 510-1616 or email tickets@knighthawks.com.
