The Toronto Maple Leafs officially announced today that they have agreed to terms on a three-year entry level contract with forward Jerry D'Amigo.
"We've been very pleased with Jerry's progression over the past 12 months," said Leafs GM Brian Burke. "Seth Appert and the rest of the coaching staff at R.P.I. (Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute) have done a really nice job of preparing Jerry for the next stage in his development. We look forward to having him at training camp."
D'Amigo, 19, appeared in 35 games with the R.P.I. Engineers of the ECAC last season, recording 10 goals, 24 assists and 41 penalty minutes.
The native of Binghamton, New York, represented the United States at the 2010 World Junior Championship in Saskatchewan. D'Amigo finished tied for third in tournament scoring with 12 points (6 goals, 6 assists) in seven games to help lead Team USA to a gold medal.
D'Amigo was drafted by Toronto in the sixth round, 158th overall, of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft.
