Alex Formenton is taking the next step in his hockey career after a successful season with the Junior A Aurora Tigers.<\/p>\n

London Knights General Manager Basil McRae announced last week the team signed Formenton to an OHL Standard Player\u2019s Agreement, one year after drafting him in the OHL Priority Selection draft.<\/p>\n

The King City native, a natural left-winger, spent the 2015-16 season with the Tigers after a productive Minor Midget campaign with the Mississauga Rebels one year earlier.<\/p>\n

Through one season in the OJHL, Formenton put up thirteen goals and thirteen assists in 54 games. <\/p>\n

He added two more goals in the 2016 postseason, through the Tigers\u2019 six-game opening series with the Wellington Dukes. <\/p>\n

Over the course of his career, playing in both the OJHL and GTHL, Formenton has a total of 84 points and 160 PIMS in 127 combined regular season and playoff games.<\/p>\n

\u201cProud to be a part of the London Knights,\u201d Formenton said in a tweet. \u201cCan\u2019t wait to get things started and wear the logo next year.\u201d
\nWhile the Tigers had a disappointing early exit in the OJHL playoffs, the major junior Knights open their postseason next week after finishing tied atop the OHL standings with the Erie Otters. <\/p>\n

The Knights took the 16-year old in the eleventh round, 216th overall in the 2015 draft. The OHL is ranked as the third-best developmental hockey league in North America, and the top among non-professional players.<\/p>\n\"Facebook\"<\/a>\"twitter\"<\/a>\"mail\"<\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
