Angello, 22, just finished his third season of collegiate hockey at Cornell, where he produced 13 goals, 13 assists, 26 points and a plus-16 in 33 games. His goal and point total tied for the team lead. Angello was named All-ECAC Second Team and All-Ivy Second Team.
A double-digit goal scorer and 20-point producer in all three of his seasons at Cornell, the 6-foot-5, 210-pound Angello wrapped up his college career with 70 points (36G-34A) and a plus-31 in 102 career contests. He led the club with 11 goals in 2015-16, becoming the first Big Red freshman since Colin Greening in 2006-07 to do so.
Before joining Cornell, Angello skated for two seasons with the Omaha Lancers of the United States Hockey League. He was a USHL Scholar-Athlete Award winner in 2013-14.
A native of Albany, New York, the righthanded-shooting Angello represented Team USA at the 2014 World Junior-A Challenge, where he helped the Americans take the gold.
