SYOSSET, N.Y. -- Former New York Bobcat forward Dan O'Donoghue continued his advancement in the hockey world last week by signing a two-year entry level contract with the Phoenix Coyotes of the National Hockey League.

O'Donoghue, who just completed a four-year career at NCAA Division I Mercyhurst, was a standout for the Bobcats during the 2008-09 season where he was named MVP of the AJHL all-star game.  He played 10 games with the Bobcats during the 2009-10 campaign before moving to the USHL for 39 contests.  He returned for the Bobcats' playoff run that year prior to Mercyhurst.
