Hartford Wolf Pack general manager Jim Schoenfeld announced today that the Wolf Pack have signed forward Tomas Zaborsky to an Amateur Tryout (ATO) agreement.

Zaborsky, a 20-year-old native of Banska Bystrica, Slovakia, played the last two seasons with the Saginaw Spirit of the Ontario Hockey League. The 5-11, 181-pounder registered the third-most points, goals and assists on this year's Spirit squad, with totals of 31-39-70, along with 42 penalty minutes, in 68 games. In four postseason games, Zaborsky notched two goals and an assist, tying him for the team lead in goals and for second on the club in points. In 127 career OHL games, Zaborsky totaled 50-63-113 and 60 PIM.

Zaborsky was a fifth-round (137th overall) selection by the parent New York Rangers in the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, out of the Slovakian Junior ranks.
