[edit] Playing career

Zigomanis was originally drafted in the 2nd round, 64th overall by the Buffalo Sabres in the 1999 NHL Entry Draft, but was unable to come to a contract agreement with the team. He re-entered the draft and was selected 46th overall by Carolina Hurricanes in the 2001 NHL Entry Draft. Zigomanis has played 134 career NHL games, scoring 19 goals and 14 assists for 33 points. Zigomanis played four seasons of Junior Hockey with the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League. He represented Canada at the 2001 World Junior Hockey Championships. Having terrific vision, soft hands and adept in a passing touch, and great skill on the faceoff, Zigomanis has molded his role as a third-line playmaker. The Coyotes signed him to a contract extension through the 2008–2009 season on February 16, 2007. On October 9, 2008 he was traded to the Pittsburgh Penguins for future considerations. ^[1]^[2] Zigomanis provided faceoff and penalty killing expertise to Pittsburgh.

He signed a professional tryout with the Toronto Marlies of the American Hockey League on October 19 2009.^[3] Zigomanis played only seven games but managed to score 13 points (all assists).

On November 10 2009, Zigomanis signed a contract for the rest of the 2009–10 season with Djurgårdens IF of the Swedish Elitserien.^[4]
