Vancouver, B.C. - Vancouver Canucks General Manager Patrik Allvin announced that the club has agreed to terms with forward Riley Patterson on a three-year, entry-level contract.

The Burlington, ON native also appeared in 16 playoff games, posting 12 points (6-6-12) and eight penalty minutes.

Patterson was recently acquired by the Niagara IceDogs earlier this month in exchange for five draft selections. The 6'0", 192lbs forward has appeared in 132 games across two seasons, all with Barrie, registering 121 points (54-67-121), 29 penalty minutes, and a +16 plus/minus rating.
