Personal Statement

My goal for my hockey career has always been and continues to be, to grow and improve in both my mental game and my physical strength. A lot of things set me apart from other prospects but the one that I believe makes me the goalie that I am is my continuous hard work and dedication to the game. I am not only a player of the game but a learner of the game. No matter if I am in the net or not I am always finding ways to better and prepare my self for what's to come. I see my path taking me to play juniors for a couple of years and continue my career to play NCAA college hockey.

Goalie Coaches Comments:

“Athleticism/Speed: Zach has strong athletic ability in the net. He moves with speed and efficiency through the crease
in all situations. Zach has a great ability to consistently make the big save while under desperation.”

“Footwork/Skating: Zach possesses elite proficiency with footwork skills and skating ability in crease. He has strong
control with edges and moves well on his feet and while on his knees in butterfly.”
– Ryan Massa, Goalie Coach, Elite Edge Athlete
