Harvard University Crimson senior, 2nd year captain, center Zakary Karpa(59) is a New York Rangers‘ 6th round pick in the 2022 draft (#191 overall).
The 6’2″ 190 lbs. forward has yet to really score, despite how he plays mostly using his fairly large frame.
He did 1 year USNTDP before playing for a pair of USHL teams before heading to school.
From Greenwich, CT, the 22-year old might not be automatic to score an entry level contract, but we think produces as a pro.
In his last season, he scores just 1 goal and 6 assists in 31 games, but stays on the team who selected him’s radar and he signs for 2025/2026 with their affiliate Hartford Wolf Pack to an AHL deal.
He gets 1 goal and 3 assists in 24 games to earn another 1-year deal with the Wolf Pack.
In 34 games with their affiliate Bloomington Bison, he had 7 goals and 10 assists.
