After a successful stint in the American Hockey League, Matt Zins is set to return to the Idaho Steelheads as they gear up for the upcoming ECHL season. Zins, known for his strong defensive skills and on-ice leadership, had previously contributed significantly to the Steelheads’ playoff run.

Fans are optimistic about the contributions he will make on both ends of the ice. His leadership qualities, coupled with his knack for making crucial plays, could be the difference between an average season and a championship-winning one.
