The Guelph Storm has signed third round pick Luke Moncada to a contract.

The six-foot-one, 196-pound centre had 24 goals and 16 assists with the Toronto Red Wings minor midgets last season in 61 games.

The team still has not signed second round pick Cam Hillis.

“We are thrilled that Luke has opted to further develop his significant athletic and academic abilities as a member of the Guelph Storm”, GM Mike Kelly said in a press release. “Luke possesses elite level competitiveness and hockey sense. His size and strength allows him to play a very effective power forward type game. We welcome Luke and his family to the Storm organization.”

In the OHL Cup, the Scarborough native maintained a point-per-game production rate, tallying five points (two goals, three assists) in five games with six penalty minutes. He most recently took part in the OHL Gold Cup in Kitchener finishing third with Team GTHL Red and recording one assist in the tournament.
