Maple Leafs sign Notre Dame product Alex Steeves

The Toronto Maple Leafs have inked forward Alex Steeves to a three-year entry-level contract beginning in 2021-22, the team announced Sunday.

The 21-year-old just wrapped up a three-year collegiate career at Notre Dame. He led the Fighting Irish and finished 10th among NCAA skaters with 32 points over 29 games during the 2020-21 campaign.

Steeves went undrafted in 2018 despite a strong season with the USHL's Dubuque Fighting Saints when he tallied 20 goals and 37 assists over 55 games. He was also the recipient of the USHL Scholar-Athlete Award that season.

The Eden Prairie, Minnesota native is listed at 5-foot-11 and 185 pounds.
