He's an intelligent player in all three zones and comes to compete everyday. He's an elite player. I'll be looking on him not only the ice, but for leadership as well. I'm very excited to have him back in an Ice Flyers jersey."
Throughout his NCAA career at Bowling Green State University, D'Andrea amassed 51 points netting a total of 23 goals and added 28 assists. D'Andrea was also awarded onto the NCAA (WCHA) All-Academic Team during the 2015-16 season. When asked on returning to Pensacola for his second season, D'Andrea also expressed his excitement and gratitude on his continued tenure by saying, "I'm very fortunate to be able to come back to this beautiful city. I'm excited to pick up where we left off, but I believe we have more to give to our passionate fans and I can't wait to get back at it."
