The 18-year-old King City, Ontario native recently completed a highly successful OHL season with the Niagara IceDogs, netting 13 goals and assisting on 40 others, but his post season was cut short when he was diagnosed with a case of mononucleosis early in the second round of the playoffs against the Oshawa Generals.
Before the ailment sent him off for a hospital stay, Pietrangelo had tallied five goals and four assists in only six post season games. Without its star defenseman, the IceDogs fell to the powerful Generals in six games.
