ZARANEK TO FITCHBURG STATE

The Springfield Pics are proud to announce the commitment of Premier Player Ben Zaranek to NCAA Division III Fitchburg State Men’s Hockey for the 2024-2025 season. This is Ben’s third year for the Premier team and in 68 games (Regular and Playoffs) for the Pics, he has an impressive .950% Saves percentage and a 2.00 Goals against average in that time.  When asked of his commitment:  “I’m extremely excited to continue my athletic career at Fitchburg for Coach Fuller. I want to thank all my Coaches in Springfield for giving me all the opportunities and taking me in”. 
​
GM and Head Coach Rob Bonneau had this to say: “Ben has been our number one goalie for the last 3 years, he has played all our playoff games the last 3 seasons.  He is extremely athletic and calm in the net, has the ability to win a game for the team, he gives the other players confidence knowing he is back there.  We wish Ben the best of luck for the next four years and continue our pipeline with Fitchburg State.  Ben will be hard to replace and be missed”.
