Playing career
Amateur
D'Amigo played for Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) of the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). He finished fifth nationally in points per game by a rookie (0.97), led RPI in game-winning goals, and finished second in shorthanded goals.[1] He won the ECAC Rookie of the Year and also was named to the ECAC Rookie Team.[2] Jerry graduated from Johnson City High School in 2009 in Johnson City, New York
D'Amigo was sent down to the Kitchener Rangers a few days before the Feb 10 2011 deadline. [3] He had 14 points in 41 games with the Marlies when he got sent down and could still be back with the Marlies if the Rangers season finishes before the Marlies. He had 10 point and 7 assists in his first 6 games with the Rangers.
Professional
On August 11, 2010, D'Amigo signed a three year entry level contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs.[4] After the signing of the contract D'Amigo received a $270,000 singing bonus on top of the average starting NHL salary of $810,000. If D'Amigo is sent to the Leafs' AHL team in Toronto he will be making a slightly less amount to the tune of $67,500. He tried out for the Leafs during training camp with the Leafs having the option to keep him on the team, send him to their American Hockey League affiliate, the Toronto Marlies, or the Ontario Hockey League's Kitchener Rangers.[5] D'Amigo was eventually sent to the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League with an option to send him to the Kitchener Rangers before Feb 10 2011.[6] D'Amigo thought he was safe from being sent down, but a few days before the deadline he was sent down.
