Canucks sign 21-year old Alexis D'Aoust to one-year contract

The Vancouver Canucks have reportedly added a 21-year-old player from Trois Rivieres, PQ, to their roster.

And although Alexis D’Aoust has signed with the team, he is expected to play with the franchise’s farm team, the Utica Comets.

He comes to the team from the Shawinigan Cataractes, of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
