Mar 24, 2022
WINDSOR, CO. – The Colorado Eagles, proud AHL affiliate of the Colorado Avalanche, have announced that the team has signed forward Zach Tsekos to an amateur tryout agreement for the remainder of the season and has inked the 25-year-old to a one-way AHL contract for the 2022-23 campaign. Tsekos recently concluded an NCAA career that saw him post 39 goals and 78 assists in 153 combined contests with Sacred Heart University and Clarkson University.
The 5-foot-10, 185-pound center began his college career with Sacred Heart, collecting 12 goals and 30 assists in 62 games. Tsekos then transferred to Clarkson where he would earn ECAC All-Star honors in both 2021 and 2022, while also being named the league’s Best Defensive Forward in each of those seasons. The Montreal, Quebec native earned the ECAC’s Student Athlete of the Year award during the 2019-20 campaign and was also named Clarkson’s team captain in 2020. An undrafted free agent, Tsekos finished tied for second on the Golden Knights roster last season with 15 goals, while his 31 points were good for third.
In a separate roster move, the Eagles recalled defenseman Charle-Edouard D’Astous from the ECHL’s Utah Grizzlies. D’Astous currently leads the Grizzlies and all ECHL defensemen with 24 goals and 53 points through 48 games.
The Eagles will be back in action when they travel to take on the San Jose Barracuda on Saturday, March 26th at 2:15pm MT at SAP Center in San Jose, California.
