Profile Contributed By: HF Staff

History

2007-08: D’Agostino posted respectable numbers for St. Michaels of the OPJHL where he finished 13th on his team in scoring and appeared in 46 games. The 6’3 defenseman played on the power play, penalty kill, and in five-on-five situations for St. Michaels of the Ontario Provincial Junior A Hockey League.

Talent Analysis

D’Agostino is a puck-moving defenseman with a long reach and accurate poke-check.  The left-handed defender has a hard slap shot that consistently makes contact with the net. His defensive positioning is sound and he is an active defender that is good at picking angles and removing passing lanes.  His body still however needs to fill out as he has difficulty along the boards and around the net against opposing forwards. His frame, which has gained 15 pounds since the beginning of the 2007-08 season still, needs to fill out further. He also needs to be more active along the boards and around the net. 

Future

D’Agostino has committed to playing for Cornell.
