(St. Paul, MN) -- The Minnesota Wild have signed one of the stars of the national championship-winning Minnesota-Duluth Bulldog team.
Alberta native Justin Fontaine scored 22 goals in 42 games for the front-running Bulldogs and now has signed a two-year, entry-level deal with Minnesota. The five-foot-ten-inch, 175-pound forward ranked fourth in the nation in scoring and tied for second in power-play goals.
Fontaine says he attended a Wild camp last offseason and the club apparently had been keeping an eye on him.
