How does Logan Cooley know Vincent Trocheck?
Trocheck grew up with one of Cooley’s cousins, and the two families are close. By Cooley’s own approximation, he has known Trocheck since he was about eight and has skated with him in the summers since he was ten or twelve, which makes the connection older than Cooley’s junior career.
It was not relaxed at the start. “I was a little scared, to be honest,” Cooley has said of those first summer sessions. “I remember not wanting to give him a bad pass or being scared they’re going to yell at you. But no, they were always great, super supportive.” Trocheck’s side of it was simpler: “I’ve always kind of kept an eye on him.”
Has Logan Cooley been injured?
Cooley missed a long stretch of the 2025-26 season. He collided with a goaltender on 5 December 2025 and grabbed his left knee, but skated off and finished the game.

He played 54 of 82 games that season and was not named to the United States squad for the 2026 Olympics.
