EVERBLADES AGREE TO TERMS WITH ZACHARY TSEKOS

ESTERO, Fla. – Florida Everblades General Manager and Head Coach Brad Ralph announced the team has agreed to terms with forward Zachary Tsekos to a standard player contract for the 2023-24 season.

Tsekos, 26, joins the Everblades for his third professional season. In his first two pro years, Tsekos played in 33 regular season games with the Utah Grizzlies, tallying 26 points behind 13 goals and 13 assists. In 17 postseason clashes, Tsekos added 13 more points with four goals and nine assists.

Tsekos made his AHL debut at the start of the 2022-23 season with the Colorado Eagles, playing in six games without recording a point.

Before turning pro, the Montreal, Quebec native played his college hockey at Sacred Heart and Clarkson University. At SHU for his freshman and sophomore campaigns, Tsekos skated in 62 contests, lit the lamp 12 times, and dealt 30 assists. He then used the 2018-19 season as a transfer year to attend Clarkson.

Tsekos saved his best for last, going on a 15 goal, 16 assist, 31-point tear to cap off his collegiate career. In his final two seasons in Potsdam, N.Y., Tsekos donned the captain’s “C” for Clarkson.
