Flyers Call Zolnierczyk
Adirondack Phantoms forward Harry Zolnierczyk, a former Brown standout, has been recalled to the Philadelphia Flyers, according to Flyers general manager Paul Holmgren.
Zolnierczyk, 24, joins the Flyers after putting together the first four-point (1g, 3a) game of his professional career last Friday against Bridgeport. Still considered a rookie, Zolnierczyk appeared in 16 games with the Phantoms last season, registering three goals and two assists. The native of Toronto, Ontario started the 2010-11 season with Brown, where he played in 114 games over four years. Serving as team captain in his senior year, Zolnierczyk had a career-best 16 goals and was named the 2011 Ivy League Player of the Year. Zolnierczyk had 69 total points (30g, 39a) in his collegiate career.
This is Zolnierczyk's first call-up to the NHL, after he appeared in the preseason for Philadelphia and remained with the Flyers until the very end of training camp. Undrafted in the NHL, the 5-foot-10, 180-pound forward signed with the Flyers as a free agent in March, 2011.
