JETS DEFENSEMAN ZELANKA PARTICIPATES IN SELECT 15s

      

August, 2008

 

Kyle Zelanka, a 93 birth year defenseman from Hewlett, NY, recently returned home from St. Cloud, Minnesota, after being selected to participate in the USA Hockey Select 15 camp.  Zelanka, who is 5’11 and weighs 150 lbs., wore number six for the Green team, scored the game winning goal with just under five minutes to play in the Green team’s first victory.  He has played for coach Shawn Ray and the Jets since their inception, traveling to Sweden with them in 2007, and recently anchoring the backline on the Hub Cup championship team in July of 2008. 

 

“I’ve always enjoyed playing for Coach Ray,” stated Zelanka.  “His skating instruction and knowledge of the game that he has passed on has really helped me.”

 

He will be a sophomore at Lynbrook High School this fall and playing Junior B in the Empire League for New York Apple Core.
