AHL Playoff Update: Bill Zonnon’s electric debute
Yesterday started with Kyle Dubas praising Bill Zonnon as the 2025 first round draft pick was about to turn pro full time. To say Penguin management is impressed with Zonnon’s habits would be an understatement after the player showed he was going above and beyond to watch and learn the system before even joining the team. Bill Zonnon's hard work is paying off.
