Dryden McKay, the Hobey Baker Award-winning goaltender from Minnesota State who was recently sanctioned after testing positive for a banned substance, has signed a two-year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs' AHL affiliate, the Toronto Marlies.

McKay received a six-month period of ineligibility for the violation, which began on April 14, the day he accepted the sanction. He was granted a three-day credit for a provisional suspension served from Jan. 31 through Feb. 2, 2022.

McKay will be eligible to voluntarily enter the organization’s facilities on August 25 and play for the Marlies as early as October 11.

Earlier this year, the 24-year-old became just the third goalie in history to win the Hobey Baker Award, following Robb Stauber in 1988 and Ryan Miller in 2001. A senior student from Downers Grove, Ill., he went 38-5-2 with a 1.31 goals-against average and .931 save percentage this season, setting an NCAA Division I record for most wins in a season.
