For the duration of 2020-21, Crookshank has signed an amateur tryout agreement and will report to the AHL’s Belleville Senators following a required quarantine period.
Crookshank was selected by Ottawa in the fifth round (126th overall) in the 2018 NHL Draft.
“On behalf of UNH hockey, I want to congratulate Angus,” said New Hampshire coach Mike Souza in a statement. “The Senators are getting a player that has an unrivaled desire to be an NHL player. Angus has been a tremendous ambassador both on and off the ice here at UNH and we are excited to have played a part in his development.”
