Hershey Retains Services of Miskovic

HERSHEY – The Hershey Bears announced Wednesday in conjunction with the National Hockey League's Washington Capitals that former St. Lawrence defenseman Zach Miskovic has been signed to a contract for 2011-12. The announcement was made today by Bears President/GM Doug Yingst. 

Miskovic, 26, enjoyed a career-high seven goals and accumulated 16 points in 58 games this year for Hershey, his second pro season.

“I’m more than thrilled,” Miskovic said. “I’m looking forward to getting back and taking advantage of the summer and getting back to camp 100 percent this year and showing what I can do. I’m excited to get another opportunity in the organization.”

A four-year letter-winner out of St. Lawrence, Miskovic led all NCAA defensemen in goals during his senior season with the Saints. He originally signed with Washington in July of 2009, and has played in 11 career Calder Cup playoff games. His career-best seventh goal of the season came on February 6 vs. Manitoba.
