The Evansville IceMen, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Ottawa Senators and AHL’s Binghamton Senators, and Head Coach Al Sims announced Tuesday that the IceMen have signed SPHL goaltender Matt Zenzola.
Zenzola, 22, was 8-4-1 with a 2.51 goals-against average and .915 save percentage in 14 games this season for the Pensacola Ice Flyers of the Southern Professional Hockey League. The 6’5, 229 goalie from Menifee, CA near San Diego signed a professional tryout contract with Colorado in October and was in the Eagles’ ECHL camp this fall.
With Christoffer Bengtsberg (lower body) still on injured reserve until he is ready and Cody Reichard (concussion) out at least a week after an injury suffered December 4 versus Fort Wayne, the IceMen will bring Zenzola and Keegan Asmundson to Toledo for Evansville’s game Wednesday at Huntington Center against the Walleye at 7:15pm EST.
Additionally, emergency backup goaltender Brent Troyan has been released, after dressing for Evansville’s December 6 game against Quad City.
