The two-year deal carries and annual contract of $833,750. Not bad for your first job out of college if you ask me.
During Pinho’s Senior campaign, he scored 12 goals and recorded 20 assists, good for 32 total points. Pinho’s 156 career games are tied with Ross Mauermann for the most all-time in program history.
Pinho also won the Hockey East’s Best Defensive Forward Award and the Frank Jones Award for the Best Defensive Forward in all of New England.
