To say that Zachary Fucale has had his share of adversity in his professional career thus far would be a massive understatement. He was thrown to the wolves in his rookie season with the St. John’s IceCaps, and the results showed a goalie who had excellent reflexes, but many exploitable weaknesses. This reputation has rightfully dogged Fucale throughout his career, as even in Junior he struggled to put forth good numbers.
But he’s also found success when it comes to team victories: Memorial Cup champion with the Halifax Mooseheads in 2013, Gold medal at the World Junior Championship with Team Canada in 2015, Spengler Cup winner in 2017.
