🚨 🐧SIGNING ALERT: ZACH SILL COMMITS TO THE PENS! 🐧🚨

The East Hants Sr. Penguins are thrilled to officially announce a monumental addition to our roster for the upcoming season: former NHL forward Zach Sill has committed to the Sr Penguins!

Hailing from just down the road in Brookfield, Zach brings an elite resume of veteran leadership, relentless work ethic and pro-level grit back home to Nova Scotia.

Beyond what he brings on the ice, we are extremely excited that Zach will have the opportunity to play right here close to home in front of his kids, family and local community.

Adding a player and person of Zach’s caliber is not only a massive milestone for our organization, but a huge win for the entire Nova Scotia Senior Hockey League (NSSHL).

Throughout Zach’s professional career, he suited up for 93 NHL games split between the Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs and the Washington Capitals. He also has 483 AHL games and 269 professional games in Europe.

Zach’s full-200-foot game, face-off dominance and championship-calibre pedigree make this one of the most exciting signings in league history.

Join us in giving Zach and his family a warm East Hants welcome!
