"The Neutral Zone" Staff Report

The Valencia Flyers of the Western States Hockey League on Thursday, announce the signing of Fabian Zuccarello, brother of current NHL forward, Mats Zuccarello f the New York Rangers.

Zuccarello, from Oslo, Norway, joins the Flyers for the 2016/2017 season. The 1997-born 5’10” Forward comes to Valencia adding a major scoring threat to an already deep offensive line. Zuccarello last played for Lorenskog U20 in the Norway U20 league and put up 18 points in 24 games played and 2 points in 7 post-season games. He has also previously spent two seasons with the Frisk Asker U18 & U20 teams totaling 52 points in 86 games played.

“I am excited to welcome Fabian here to Valencia as a dynamic, top end forward that will be able to play for us in every situation," said Valencia Flyers Head Coach & General Manager, Josh Berge. "Being able to add a player of his caliber into our organization will greatly benefit us on and off the ice this season. The signing of Zuccarello adds him to the list of top Norwegian players to come and play for the Flyers, including Ole Nilsen and Joakim Hofstad from two previous seasons, and we’re thrilled to continue that relationship with Norwegian Hockey players."
