Before joining the pro ranks Papapetros spent four seasons at Castleton University where he spent four seasons playing 101 games with 60 points and 119 penalty minutes.

We are very excited to add him to our already steady defense corps.Putting good pieces on our blue line is a big part of finding success in this league and we know Zach is another key ingredient to our strong defense corps."
