History
2009-10: Played for Delbarton School in New Jersey, in the New York metro area. In his senior year, Agostino scored 50 goals and added 33 assists for 83 points. He finished his high school career with 261 points, making him the all-time leading scorer in that school's history. Agostino was named the Star-Ledger's 2010 Player of the Year, the third consecutive year he has won that award.
2010-11: In his freshman season at Yale, Agostino managed 11 goals and 14 assists in 31 games. He started the season playing in the bottom six but gradually worked his way into the top-six.
Talent Analysis
Agostino's style of game very much meshes with what the Penguins look for in forwards. He has a good motor, high compete level, and good hockey instincts.
Offensively Agostino posted gaudy numbers at the high school level and while that offense clearly is still there at the collegiate level, his compete level and willingness to play in the dirty areas of the ice are his greatest virtues. He is a solid north-south skater, and while not overly big, he is strong on his skates and not afraid to play a physical brand of hockey.
Future
Agostino will likely play out the remainder of his NCAA eligibility with Yale.
