Zach, a Sports Information and Media major at Duquesne University, has been passionate about hockey for 23 years. His journey began with playing, refereeing, coaching, and now he channels his love for the sport into writing. Growing up in Virginia Beach, where hockey wasn’t widely known or played, Zach found an outlet through roller hockey. He eventually transitioned into ice hockey, playing for the Hampton Roads Whalers youth and junior organization. Now, he’ll be covering the Pittsburgh Penguins. Follow him on X @THW_ZAlvarado.
