Frank "Sonny" Milano (born May 12, 1996) is a American professional ice hockey forward currently a prospect for the Columbus Blue Jackets in the National Hockey League (NHL). Milano was selected by the Blue Jackets in the first round, 16th overall, of the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.
Playing career
Junior
Milano was rated as a top prospect who was widely projected to be a first round selection in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft.[1][2] He trained with the USA Hockey National Team Development Program team during the 2012–13 and 2013–14 seasons,[3] and was invited to participate in the 2013 CCM/USA Hockey All-American Prospects Game.[4]
Milano was committed to play for the Boston College Eagles men's ice hockey team in the Hockey East Association. However, on August 16, 2014, Eagles' head coach Jerry York announced Milano had advised the team of his intention to sign a professional contract with the Blue Jackets, thus forgoing his college eligibility.[5][6] During the 2014-2015 season, Milano is playing for the Whalers in the OHL. Even though he switched teams, he continues to live with Bo Freatman in Ann Arbor.
Professional
On September 11, 2014, the Blue Jackets announced that they had signed Milano to a three-year entry level contract.[7]
International play
As a 16-year-old Milano won a bronze medal with Team USA at the 2013 World U-17 Hockey Challenge,[8] and as a 17-year-old he helped the USA squad capture the gold medal at the 2014 IIHF World U18 Championships.[9] Milano recorded 2 goals and 2 assists at the 2015 World Junior Championships
