North York Rangers forward Nick Campoli has been selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the 6th round, 158th overall, of the 2017 NHL Draft in Chicago, Illinois.

The 18-year old native of Etobicoke, Ontario found himself with the North York Rangers in 2015-16 after graduating from the prestigious Toronto Jr. Canadiens minor midget program.  Campoli, who posted more than a point-per-game pace and went the OHL Cup tournament with the Jr. Canadiens, would be selected by the Saginaw Spirit in the 6th round, 107th overall, of the 2015 OHL Priority Selection.  The youngster made an immediate impact on the Rangers, recording nearly a point-per-game once again with 34 points in 37 contests and he added 8 points in two playoff rounds to finish fifth on the club in scoring.  Unfortunately Nick underwent surgery prior to the start of the 2016-17 season, but would return in time to be named to Team Canada East's Final Selection Camp.  After going on a 10-game point scoring streak to start his season, Campoli would be named to Team East for the 2017 CJHL Prospects Game held in Cornwall, Ontario and finished the year with 32 points in just 20 games played.  He was named an OJHL 2nd Team All-Prospect, the recipient of the OJHL Top Prospect Award, and will be joining the Clarkson University Golden Knights next season.

Congratulations to Nick on being selected in this year's draft and living out his NHL dream!
