Chatham-Kent's Travis Konecny has signed an entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers.
The Clachan native was selected by the Flyers in the first round, 24th overall, of the 2015 NHL Draft last month.
The 18-year-old was the captain last season of the Ottawa 67's and had 29 goals and 39 assists.
Konecny was also named the first recipient of the E.J. McGuire Award of Excellence, which is given to the draft-eligible prospect who best exemplifies the commitment to excellence through strength of character, competitiveness and athleticism.
