Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins News Release
WILKES-BARRE, Pa. - The Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins announced today that they have signed forward Bill Zonnon to an amateur tryout agreement.
Zonnon was drafted by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the first round of this past summer's 2025 NHL Entry Draft. Pittsburgh took Zonnon 22nd overall, the second of their three first-round selections.
The 19-year-old generated 14 goals and 32 assists for 46 points this season for the Blainville-Boisbriand Armada. His 32 helpers tied for third on the team despite appearing in just 35 of the Armada's 64 regular-season games.

Last year, Zonnon led the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies with 55 assists and placed second on the team with 83 points. Zonnon, who hails from Montréal, Québec, also topped the Huskies with eight playoff goals and 16 playoff points in 2025.
In 230 career QMJHL games with Rouyn-Noranda and Blainville-Boisbriand, Zonnon has 226 points (76G-150A).
