Penguins’ AHLer Justin Addamo Will Represent France at World Championship
The Pittsburgh Penguins have more than just NHL level stars set to play at the World Championship.
More than just players from the NHL roster, the Pittsburgh Penguins have a member of their minor league system heading to the IIHF World Championship.
Forward Justin Addamo spent the 2022-23 season in the Penguins system bouncing between the AHL’s Wilkes-Barre/Sranton Penguins and the ECHL’s Wheeling Nailers.
Prior to joining the organization, Addamo played three seasons with Robert Morris University.
Being a native of Clermon-Ferrand, Addamo will represent Team France at the World Championship.
Addamo spent a majority of the 2022-23 season in Wheeling where he played 42 games and recorded 33 points (21G-12A).
During his stint with the WBS Penguins, Addamo put up five goals in 14 games.
Addamo is a 6-foot-6, 24-year-old winger who has earned his position in the organization.
His efforts in the back half of the year with WBS fetched him an AHL contract for the upcoming 2023-24 season.
Addamo joins Alex Nylander (Sweden), Casey DeSmith (USA), Nick Bonino (USA), Drew O’Connor (USA), and P.O. Joseph (Canada) as members of the Penguins organization playing at the World Championship.
