The National Hockey League's Los Angeles Kings today announced they have signed University of Minnesota Duluth senior left winger Alex Iafallo to a two-year entry-level contract.

Iafallo, a free agent, closed the books on a rewarding collegiate career earlier this month by being named a American Hockey Coaches Association first team All-American. The Eden, N.Y., native tied for 12th nationally in scoring with a UMD-leading 51 points on 21 goals and 30 assists, becoming, in the process, the first Bulldog to crack the 50-point plateau in five season. He also potted the fifth-most game winners (six, the last coming in the waning seconds of UMD's 2-1 NCAA Frozen Four semifinal triumph over Harvard University) of any NCAA I skater and finished a +22 on the year. The reigning National Collegiate Hockey Conference scoring champion, Iafallo collected at least one point in each of the final 15 games of the year. In addition to being named ot the NCAA Frozen Four, the NCAA West Regional and North Star Cup All-Tournament Teams, Iafallo was chosen the the Most Valuable Player at the NCHC Frozen Faceoff after leading the Bulldogs to their first title at that event.
