Nailers Acquire Pittsburgh Native from Trenton
January 26, 2013 - ECHL (ECHL)
Wheeling Nailers News Release
WHEELING, WV- The Wheeling Nailers, proud ECHL affiliate of the Pittsburgh Penguins and Montreal Canadiens, have announced a transaction, effective immediately. Wheeling has acquired defenseman Gentry Zollars from the Trenton Titans, in exchange for future considerations.
Zollars, 27, is a local product, having grown up in Bethel Park, PA. After spending two seasons in the OPJHL with the Oswego Admirals, Gentry went the college route, attending SUNY-Brockport during the 2007-08 campaign, on his way to UMass-Boston from 2008-10. After finishing with school, Zollars began to make hockey into a career, as he splot the 2010-11 season between the SPHL's Louisiana IceGators and Huntsvill Havoc, while also appearing in one game with the FHL's New York Aviators. Last season was Gentry's most productive season, as he registered seven goals and 21 points in 30 games with the FHL's New Jersey Outlaws, while also adding two assists in 13 games with the Trenton Titans. Thus far this season, the blueliner has appeared in 13 games with the Titans and Orlando Solar Bears in the ECHL, while also accumulating 22 points in 23 games with the FHL's Danbury Whalers.
Gentry Zollars joins the Nailers just in time to face his former team, the Trenton Titans, as the two clubs will drop the puck at 7:05 from Sun National Bank Center on Saturday. Wheeling will then return home on Sunday to battle the Cincinnati Cyclones at 4:00.
