NOTRE DAME, Ind. — University of Notre Dame hockey alternate captain Andrew Oglevie has signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the NHL’s Buffalo Sabres, foregoing his final year of collegiate eligibility.
Oglevie has led the Irish in goals the last two seasons, finishing second on the team in points in 2017-18 with 15 goals and 24 assists for 39 points. He was named to both the Frozen Four and NCAA East Regional All-Tournament teams after tying for the team lead in points during four NCAA tournament games (3-5-8).
During his sophomore season, Oglevie was Notre Dame’s most improved player, recording 21 goals and 20 assists for 41 points. He finished his Irish career playing in 107 games over three seasons with 41 goals and 48 assists (89 points), with nine game-winning goals.
The Fullerton, California, native becomes the second Notre Dame player to sign a professional contract since the 2017-18 campaign concluded with the program’s second consecutive Frozen Four trip. Team captain and leading point-scorer Jake Evans, a senior, inked a two-year, entry-level contract with the Montreal Canadiens, announced on Monday, April 9.
