UMass Lowell junior forward Andre Lee has signed a two-year, entry-level contract with the Los Angeles Kings.<\/p>\n

In signing with the NHL team, Lee will give up his senior season with the River Hawks.<\/p>\n

Lee was drafted by the Kings in the seventh round (188th overall) of the 2019 NHL Draft.<\/p>\n

“We are extremely proud of Andre as he begins his professional career with the Los Angeles Kings,” said UML coach Norm Bazin in a statement. “Andre has improved significantly during his time at Lowell, and he has developed into an impactful offensive player. Andre’s desire to be a player is strong, and he has always approached his days with a good mindset and terrific smile.<\/p>\n

“We appreciate what Andre has contributed to our culture and wish him the best.”<\/p>\n

An offensive catalyst for the River Hawks, the native of Karlstad, Sweden led the team in scoring for the second consecutive year with 28 points off a team-best 16 goals and 12 assists. He topped the UMass Lowell scoresheet with four game-winning goals this season and ranked first amongst all forwards with 27 blocked shots.<\/p>\n

For his efforts this season, Lee capped his year with Hockey East third team all-star recognition. His playmaking ability also helped lead the River Hawks to TD Garden for the 2022 Hockey East semifinals, as well as earn a bid to the 2022 regionals in Loveland, Colo.<\/p>\n

In his 87 games across three seasons as a River Hawk, Lee amassed 31 goals and 33 assists for 64 points.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
