Zolnierczyk, 23, just completed a four-year career at Brown. He was the captain of the Bears in his senior season and was named Ivy League Player of the Year, while also earning ECAC Player of the Week honors twice this season. Zolnierczyk scored 16 goals and 15 assists for 31 points -- he led the Bruins in goals and tied for the team lead in scoring. 

In 114 career games during his four seasons at Brown, Zolnierczyk recorded 30 goals and 39 assists for 69 points, along with 238 penalty minutes.
