Blackhawks Ink Aliu

POSTED: 4:18 pm PDT August 25, 2008

Chicago, IL -- (Sports Network) - The Chicago Blackhawks signed right wing Akim Aliu to a three-year contract on Monday.

A native of Okene, Nigeria, Aliu tallied a career-high 61 points (28 goals) in 60 regular-season games last season for London of the Ontario Hockey League. The 19-year-old also made his professional debut last year, playing two games with the Rockford IceHogs of the American Hockey League after signing an amateur tryout contract on April 4.

Aliu was Chicago's third choice (56th overall) in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.
