The Oshawa Generals have inked goaltender Zachary Paputsakis to an OHL standard player agreement.

The Rockland, Ontario native was a fifth round selection by the Generals in the 2017 OHL Priority Selection.

The 6’3, 185-pound goalie participated in the Generals orientation camp in 2017 and 2018, earning invites to the main camp both years.

This past season, Paputsakis played in the USHS-Prep league for the Kimball Union Academy Wildcats, a team based in Meriden, New Hampshire.

He finished the 2018-19 season with a .923 save percentage and 1.81 goals against average.

“Zach is a big goalie that will come in here and compete for the number one job,” said vice president and general manager Roger Hunt.
