Darik Angeli was recently signed by the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League. The powerful 6'3 205lb forward has tallied 15 points for the Manchester Monarchs (ECHL) in 48 games this season, and the move up to the AHL is well warranted. Darik is a strong skater and smooth puck handler who uses his size and high compete level to create havoc in the net front. Playing a 2 way game, Angeli can be seen killing penalties for the Monarchs as well as scoring goals on and off the power-play. With a quick release and keen hockey sense, Darik has been an effective forward everywhere he has played, from the 44 points he had with the 08-09 Rampage 18U to the 45 points he had over the span of his college career with Ohio State(NCAA Division 1). But Darik is not only a difference maker with the puck. Using his size and skating abilities, Angeli is determined for the puck, winning battles and making plays with his skating skills and more importantly his competitive spirit. New challenges await Darik in the AHL as he enters his 3rd game in the league on March 11th at Grand Rapids.
