Columbus Blue Jackets Assistant General Manager Bill Zito Named General Manager for 2018 United States Men’S National Team FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 23, 2018 COLUMBUS BLUE JACKETS ASSISTANT GENERAL MANAGER BILL ZITO NAMED GENERAL MANAGER FOR 2018 UNITED STATES MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM COLUMBUS, OHIO --- Columbus Blue Jackets Assistant General Manager Bill Zito has been named general manager of the 2018 United States Men’s National Team, USA Hockey and the Blue Jackets announced today. Zito will oversee the selection of players that will represent the United States when it begins play at the 2018 IIHF Men’s World Championship on May 4 against Canada in Herning, Denmark. “This is a great privilege and I am grateful to USA Hockey for the opportunity and look forward to working with the Advisory Group and having a successful tournament,” said Zito. “I’d like to thank John Davidson, Jarmo Kekalainen and the Blue Jackets for their support and allowing me to work with USA Hockey at a time when our club is in a tight playoff race that will hopefully extend our season deep into the spring.” A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Zito previously served on the management staff for the 2015 U.S. Men’s National Team that captured a bronze medal at the 2015 IIHF Men’s World Championship in Ostrava and Prague, Czech Republic. “We’re excited to have Bill as the GM of our men’s national team,” said Pat Kelleher, Executive Director of USA Hockey. “With his varied experience, passion and knowledge of our player pool, we know he’ll do a terrific job in leading efforts in putting this team together.” Supporting Zito in the player selection process will be the U.S. Men’s National Team Advisory Group, a collection of NHL general managers that includes Stan Bowman (Chicago Blackhawks), David Poile (Nashville Predators), Ray Shero (New Jersey Devils), Dale Tallon (Florida Panthers), and Jeff Gorton (New York Rangers). Gorton is a new addition to the group this year. Zito joined the Blue Jackets as assistant general manager in August 2013 and also serves as the general manager of the Cleveland Monsters, the club’s American Hockey League affiliate. Since his arrival, Zito has helped the Blue Jackets to a pair of Stanley Cup Playoff berths and led Cleveland to the first Calder Cup championship in franchise history in 2015-16. Prior to joining the Blue Jackets organization, Zito spent two decades building Acme World Sports into one of the top hockey agencies in the world by uncovering late-round or undrafted, lesser-known players, as well as the top picks. As the agency’s founder and president, his list of clients included: John Madden, Brian Rafalski, Tuuka Rask, Kimmo Timonen, 2013 Vezina Trophy finalist Antti Niemi and former Vezina Trophy and Conn Smythe Award winner Tim Thomas. Zito is a graduate of Yale University, where he played varsity hockey from 1984-87. He then attended law school at the University of Wisconsin and during that time served as an assistant coach for the Badgers hockey team and was a radio color commentator for Badger hockey. Upon earning his law degree, he went on to practice at major firms in New York and Chicago before founding Acme World Sports, LLC, in 1995. The Blue Jackets return to action Saturday when they host the St. Louis Blues. Game time from Nationwide Arena is 7 p.m. ET. Live coverage on FOX Sports Ohio begins with the Blue Jackets Live pre-game show starting at 6:30 p.m. All Blue Jackets games televised on FOX Sports Ohio will also be streamed live via FOX Sports GO. The game may also be heard on the Eldorado Scioto Downs Blue Jackets Radio Network, including flagship station Sports Radio 97.1 The Fan and online at BlueJackets.com. - CBJ - Contacts: Todd Sharrock, Columbus Blue Jackets – 614/246-4157 or [email protected] Dave Fischer, USA Hockey– 614/719-1171 or [email protected] Tickets for all home games are currently available for purchase online at BlueJackets.com, Ticketmaster.com, or in person at the Big Lots Box Office at Nationwide Arena, OhioHealth Chiller Ice Rinks and the FOX Sports Ohio Blue Line at The Mall at Tuttle Crossing.

But if Anderson doesn't report? “Him not being here would be a bad, bad decision,” Kekalainen told The Athletic. The Blue Jackets held media day Wednesday in Nationwide Arena, basking in the optimism created by the franchise’s best season, a 50‐win, 108‐point surprise in 2016‐17. Even the idea that Anderson could become the second Blue Jackets’ player in four years to hold out of training camp didn’t dampen the mood for the club’s management or coach John Tortorella. As of 5 p.m. Wednesday, nothing had changed in talks between Blue Jackets assistant general manager Bill Zito and Anderson’s agent, Darren Ferris, sources told The Athletic. Anderson is continuing to skate in Toronto.
