The Los Angeles Kings continue to secure more of their prospects, signing Akil Thomas to his three-year Entry Level Contract today. Thomas, a 19-year old center, is in his third year with the Ontario Hockey League’s Niagara IceDogs. He’s having a career year in all categories, putting up 37 goals and 63 assists in 62 games played.
Thomas’ 100 points are good for ninth overall in the OHL this season; he sits tied for third on his team, behind Jason Robertson (114 points) and tied with Ben Jones. Suffice it to say, the IceDogs don’t have any issues with putting pucks in nets.
