The following article featuring Rensselaer forward Jerry D'Amigo appeared July 12 on the Hockey News Web site.
When Toronto Maple Leafs prospect Jerry D’Amigo arrived at
the team’s rookie camp last summer there was little fanfare
surrounding the sixth round (158th overall) selection. There were
minor concerns about how the Binghamton, N.Y., native wasn’t
prepared and Toronto sent him off to the NCAA’s RPI program
to further develop.
The message was clear and D’Amigo listened. The Maple Leafs
were impressed with the shape D’Amigo showed up to this
year’s camp in and after scoring 34 points in 35 games in the
NCAA and winning a gold medal with the USA at the world juniors
last season, the 5-foot-11, 196-pounder may be closer to NHL action
than many think.
THN writer Adam Proteau caught up with D’Amigo at the Maple
Leafs’ prospect camp in Etobicoke, Ont.
