Zenon started his Junior career in Ottawa with a Memorial Cup win in 1999. Following that, he lead his team to an OHL Championship and another Memorial cup appearance in 2001. In his final Junior year he was named Captain of both the Ottawa 67's and OHL All-Star Team. Due to his unmatched work ethic, and heart, he worked his way up from the ECHL to become a dominating force in the AHL, and then to the Anaheim Ducks in the NHL. He played with the Tampa Bay Lightning, NY Islanders, the Columbus Blue Jackets, our Ottawa Senators, and is currently with the Minnesota Wild . In the NHL Zenon has proven to be not only one of the toughest, but a top 5 faceoff center, and a strong team leader. A true leader in the dressing room and on the ice, he is one of the most effective players at what he does. Zenon has had a huge influence on young players such as Stamkos , Tavares, Condra and Karlsson, to name a few. Whether you are a Junior Prospect or minor hockey player, Zenon and our crew will definitely improve your game.
