Bobcats Acquire "Flyin' Hawaiian" Zach Pamaylaon From Fresno

“As an organization, we hold our players to a high standard both on and off the ice. When those standards and our team code of conduct are not met, we have to make decisions that are in the best interest of our team and organization,” said Head Coach and General Manager of Hockey Operations Vojtech Zemlicka. “In return, we were able to acquire an experienced defenseman who brings valuable experience and stability to our blue line, along with financial considerations. We appreciate Carson’s time with the Bobcats and wish him the best moving forward.”

Pamaylaon, the only active Hawaiian-born player in all of professional hockey, brings a unique and experienced playing style and background to Blue Ridge. 

The 5’9” 160lb blueliner has posted 87 points (22G, 65A), 360 penalty minutes and a +29 rating in 190 career FPHL games (including playoffs). The 30 year old was named MVP in his final year of collegiate play at ACHA D2 Colonial States, setting school records for most points, goals and assists in a single season. 

Pamaylaon brings a championship pedigree, helping the Danbury Hat Tricks to the 2023 Commissioner’s Cup Title, and a hard-nosed play style as he bears relation to 5-time UFC title winner Max Holloway.

Single game tickets are on sale now to see him and the rest of the Bobcats when they take the #HitachiEnergyArena ice in just 23 days at blueridgebobcats.com/tickets.
