ST. CATHARINES—The Niagara IceDogs have announced that Andrew Agozzino, their first-round selection in this year’s Ontario Hockey League Priority Draft, has committed to play for the IceDogs.
Centre Andrew Agozzino will be among the 40 or so players who will report to the Niagara training camp in St. Catharines on Aug. 27.
“I feel very excited about signing,” said Agozzino. “Being drafted was a very exciting day for me because all the hard work and practices pay off. But signing means that you’re not just drafted. You’re going to play.
“I think I have a good offensive game and I’m going to go to camp, keep it simple and do whatever I can to help the team win.”
The five-foot-eight, 165-pound Agozzino had an outstanding season with the Mississauga IceDogs Minor Midget team of the Greater Toronto Hockey League that won the OHL Cup tournament in March. He scored 57 goals and added 65 assists for 122 points in 78 games.
Agozzino was one of 13 players from the Minor Midget IceDogs who were drafted by OHL teams in the league’s priority draft in May.
