D'Amico Signs with ECHL's Eagles

August 4, 2015 - Western Hockey League (WHL) - Regina Pats News Release


Regina, Saskatchewan - The Regina Pats Hockey Club congratulates graduated forward Patrick D'Amico on signing his first professional contract with the Colorado Eagles of the ECHL.

D'Amico joined the Pats in the 2012-13 season, cracking the roster as an 18-year old training camp invite. After leading the Blue and White in scoring through the 2012 pre-season, the Winnipeg, MB product was injured and missed the next 27 games. The following year saw D'Amico reassigned to the MJHL's Virden Oil Capitals where he found his scoring touch, posting 17 points (11G, 6A) in just 11 games. He then rejoined the Pats after the Christmas break.

Following the stint in Junior-A, D'Amico's WHL career took off. The resilient forward tallied 21 points (5G, 16A) over the remaining 35 games of the 2013-14 season. That momentum rolled over into last season where D'Amico enjoyed a breakout year. As an over-ager, D'Amico posted 50 points (20G, 30A) while playing in all 72 games of the 2014-15 campaign. He also finished tied for second in Pats playoff scoring with 7 points (3G, 4A) in nine games while finishing with a +3 plus/minus rating.

NHL scouts took notice of his performance and D'Amico was invited to the New Jersey Devils' prospect development camp earlier this summer.

With D'Amico signing, all three Pats over-agers have inked professional deals this summer: Braden Christoffer (Bakersfield), Pavel Padakin (Lehigh Valley).
