Playing career
Prior to turning professional, Zolnierczyk played junior A for the Alberni Valley Bulldogs of the BCHL from 2005-2007 before attending Brown University where he played four ice hockey seasons with the Brown Bears, which competes in NCAA's Division I in the ECAC Hockey conference. In his senior season with Brown, Zolnierczyk was named team captain, replacing graduating captain Aaron Volpatti.[1] After scoring 31 points, including a career-high 16 goals, Zolnierczyk was named Ivy League Player of the Year.[2]
On March 8, 2011, Zolnierczyk signed a one-year, $900,000 entry-level contract with the Philadelphia Flyers to take effect at the outset of the 2011–12 season.[3][4] Less than a week later, he signed an amateur tryout contract with the Flyers' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Adirondack Phantoms.[5] In sixteen games with the Phantoms, Zolnierczyk finished the 2010–11 season with three goals, two assists, and 37 penalty in minutes.
After being cut by the Flyers on October 4, 2011, following his first NHL training camp and pre-season, Zolnierczyk was assigned to the Phantoms to begin his first full professional ice hockey season.[6] On October 18, 2011, the Flyers re-called Zolnierczyk to replace injured forward Andreas Nödl in a game against the Ottawa Senators.[7] In the first game of his NHL career, he scored his first NHL goal with 45 seconds remaining in the third period against Senators' goaltender Craig Anderson.[8] On March 3, 2013, the league suspended him for four games for charging Mike Lundin during the game.[9]
On April 1, 2013, Zolnierczyk was traded to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for enforcer Jay Rosehill.[10] Two months later on June 24, 2013, the Ducks traded him to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for defenceman Alex Grant.[11] On July 12, 2013, the Penguins signed him to a one-year, two-way contract, worth $550,000.[12]
On July 1, 2014, Zolnierczyk left the Penguins and agreed to a one-year two-way free agent contract with the New York Islanders.[13] He was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, after clearing waivers.[14] Later on in the Islanders' 2014–15 season, he was recalled to the team along with Colin McDonald after injuries sidelined forwards Michael Grabner and Cal Clutterbuck,[15] but was returned to the Sound Tigers after two games.[16]
On July 3, 2015, Zolnierczyk signed as a free agent to a one-year, two-way contract with the Anaheim Ducks.[17]
Personal life
In November 2006, Zolnierczyk and his Alberni Valley Bulldogs teammate Brad Harding secretly used a webcam to record Harding having consensual sex with a 17-year-old girl. Zolnierczyk later showed the video to a number of friends and teammates. In 2008, he pled guilty to two counts of electronic voyeurism and received a conditional discharge, leaving him with no criminal record after three years.[18][19][20]
