50 Players, 50 Days: Zak Currie

May 21, 2020

Zak Currie, an NAPHL grad, finished 3rd in team scoring during the 2019-20 season with 38 points.

During the current and unforeseen cancelation of the 2019-20 season, the players in the NAHL saw their seasons cut prematurely short. In some cases, players saw their junior hockey careers come to an end as well. However, the NAHL got together a decided to highlight some of those players, who were born in 1999 and were in their final season of playing junior hockey.

As a result, we present a new series entitled: 50 players in 50 days

50 players in 50 days will select 50 players from each of the 26 NAHL teams this past season that were born in 1999, are currently uncommitted, and deserve some recognition during their time spent playing and developing in the NAHL. Over the course of the next 50 days, we will take time out to look at their accomplishments, review their season, and provide some background on their NAHL careers. Players will be initially highlighted in alphabetical order by team. Enjoy!

“Zak is a player you want in your locker room. His play impacted every game and he always found a way to make the big play. When the game is on the line, you want Zak on the ice with the puck on his stick. Zak is a type of player that every NCAA hockey team needs on their roster,” said former Knights head coach Tom Kowal.
 
Currie made his NAHL debut with the Knights during the 2017-18 season, appearing in four games. Currie played that season in the NAPHL with the Meijer AAA 18U team, leading the team in scoring with 22 points in 18 NAPHL games. That also included playing in the 2018 NAPHL 18U All-Star Game.
