INCH A to Z: Scott Zurevinski

The following article featuring Quinnipiac forward Scott Zurevinski appeared September 14 on the InsideCollegeHockey.com Web site as part College Hockey A to Z.

You can't learn how to spell before you've mastered your A-B-Cs. Turns out that's the best way to preview the college hockey season as well. For the sixth year in a row we present Inside College Hockey A to Z, an alphabetical look at a player you need to know from all 58 colleges in Division I.

As our annual A-Z series draws to a close, we're going to take this opportunity to catch some Z's ... literally. The last two players to step into the spotlight have last names that begin with the alphabet's 26th letter, but that doesn't mean you should fall asleep on either one. Mercyhurst goalie Ryan Zapolski was a pleasant surprise for the Lakers last season; Quinnipiac forward Scott Zurevinski, meanwhile, was among the top ECAC Hockey rookies in goals last season.
