Press Release

Los Angeles Kings President and General Manager Dean Lombardi announced today that they have signed Generals forward Andy Andreoff to a three year entry level contract.

The Kings also announced that they have assigned Andreoff back to the Generals for the 2011-2012 season.

Andreoff, 20, has spent his entire four year career with the Oshawa Generals after being the team’s 5th round pick in 2007. During that time he has scored 59 goals and 90 assists for 149 points in 224 regular season games with Oshawa.

Last year, the Pickering, Ontario native had a career year posting 33 goals and 42 assists for 75 points in 66 games while also leading the team with a +34 plus/minus rating and in penalty minutes with 109.

Andreoff was the Los Angeles Kings 3rd round pick, 80th overall in the 2011 NHL Entry Draft this past June.

The 6-foot-1 forward was named an Assistant Captain with the Generals for this season prior to training camp.

He will re-join the Generals immediately and is expected to make his season debut this Friday when the Generals take on the Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors on the road. Andreoff will make his home debut at the General Motors Centre this Saturday night when the Generals host the Ottawa 67’s at 7:05pm.
