The Waterford, MI native posted ten points (all assists). Zarb posted his first career point back on October 15th versus Army in the Maverick Stampede Tournament. His most memorable performance came a week later on October 21st, when he posted two assists and was a plus-2 in helping FSU to a 4-4 tie with Lake Superior State.
2007-08: In his junior year with Ferris State (CCHA), Zarb showed that he is a defender with excellent size and mobility. He continued to work on improving his strength and conditioning, as well as his puck handling skills.
2008-09: Turned pro a year early, signing with the Flyers. Assigned to the ECHL Mississippi Sea Wolves for 2008-09.
Talent Analysis
Zarb is a tall, lanky two-way defenseman. He can make very nice outlet passes and has no trouble moving with the puck. He has the ability to jump up into plays and will do so whenever the opportunity presents itself. Zarb is a fluid skater with nice, long strides. He spent time on the power play unit in college. He is a smart player with good on-ice vision that works and competes hard. He possesses a hard, fairly accurate shot. Two areas that Zarb will need to continue improving to be successful at the next level is to get stronger and be more physically involved.
Future
Signed with the ECHL Gwinnett Gladiators for 2009-10.
