Corey Andonovski Signs With Pittsburgh Penguins
March 10, 2022 | Men's Ice Hockey
Senior Corey Andonovski has signed a two-year entry-level contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins, officially beginning his professional career. He will report to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins of the AHL on a Amateur Tryout Agreement (ATO) for the remainder of the 2021-22 season with the two-year deal starting in 2022-23. He joins Tiger teammate Liam Gorman (Selected #177 overall in 2018 Entry Draft) and Taylor Fedun '11 (current WBS Penguins captain) as members of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization.
A second-team All-Ivy selection this year, Andonovski played in all 31 games, amassing 22 points on 10 goals and 12 assists. He was at his best on the power play, scoring six powerplay goals which ranks No. 16 in the country.
For his career, Andonovski had 50 points in 80 career games, with 21 goals and 29 assists.
Andonovski is the fifth Princeton hockey player in the last five seasons to sign a NHL contract at the conclusion of his senior season, joining Eric Robinson '18 (Columbus), Josh Teves '19 (Vancouver), Ryan Kufner '19 (Detroit) and Max Véronneau '19 (Ottawa) who all went right into professional hockey after storied Princeton careers under head coach Ron Fogarty.
"This is an exciting day for Corey and his family," said Fogarty. "Princeton Hockey is proud of the work he has put in over his career and the development shown during his time on the ice as a Tiger that has led to this moment. We are excited to watch him begin his professional career with the Pittsburgh organization."
