Atlantic Hockey announced today that American International College junior defenseman Zak Galambos is the Atlantic Hockey Defensive Player of the Week.

Galambos had a monster weekend for the Yellow Jackets at both ends of the rink.

The Walnut Creek native notched a pair of power-play assists in Saturday’s victory over Air Force and set up the deciding tally against the Falcons on Sunday with a breakout pass, before rushing end to end and finding Austen Long open in the slot for the winner.

During his youth hockey career, Galambos played for the San Jose Jr. Sharks, Vacaville North Stars, Berkeley Bulldogs and Oakland Bears.
