Anthony Agostinelli Commits to IceDogs

Niagara, ON – Niagara IceDogs General Manager Joey Burke has announced the commitment of Anthony Agostinelli. The 16 year old centre signed an Ontario Hockey League Standard Player Agreement following an impressive training camp earlier this week. Agostinelli was an eighth round pick (159th overall) in the 2019 OHL Priority Selection.

A native of Rochester, New York, Agostinelli played with the Buffalo Jr. Sabres U16 program last season. With the Tier 1 U16 team, he collected 12 points (7 goals, 5 assists) in 24 games, and with the Midget team, he collected 34 points (19 goals, 15 assists) in 44 games.

“This is a high end young player that we targeted all season long.” said General Manager Burke. “We believe he has a very bright future with us, and beyond. His hands and hockey sense are as good as anyone in his age class. We are thrilled to be adding him to our young group.”

As a 15 year old, his overtime goal to win the World U-15 #WSI18 Championship over Russia made headlines.
