Zach Gallant and Ryan Merkley COMPELLED TO HELP were two of eight players to appear in two categories. One of the Petes’ most recent on-ice success stories is defenceman and assistant of the Zach Bogosian. Although Peterborough players were recognized in the Eastern Conference as the 28 year old’s career has largely been defined by his on-ice skills, follows: the powerful rear guard is foremost a philanthropist whose quest to help others makes him a standout among his NHL colleagues. ◘ Hunter Jones, Most Improved Player (3rd) ◘ Ryan Merkley, Best Playmaker (3rd) and Best Offensive Zach’s atypical journey to the Petes began at Cushing Academy, Defenceman (2nd) a college prepatory school in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. It was ◘ Nick Robertson, Best Stickhandler (1st) here he was coached by and played alongside the Hall ◘ Zach Gallant, Best on Face-Offs (2nd; finished 2nd in 2017-18 of Famer’s son, Ryan (currently with the Bridgeport Sound Tigers). and 1st in 2016-17) and Best Defensive (2nd) Continued on Page 8 Chris Paquette, Best Penalty Killer (3rd)

The Coaches Poll is tabulated when each team submits one nominee per category, and coaches then vote for the top three players for each category within their conference. Players receive five points for a first place vote, three points for a second place vote, and one point for a third place vote. Clubs are not permitted to vote for players from their own team allowing for a maximum of 45 possible points for each winner.

OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM PAGE 7 Continued from Page 5 Contrary to following the NCAA formula, Bogosian conveyed interest in pursuing the OHL in his adolescence. He recalled attending an Ottawa 67’s game as a child and being fixated on the increased intensity of an OHL game and hysteria throughout the 10,000 seat Civic (now TD Place Arena), a slice of elite hockey he desired.

In drafting Zach to the Petes, previous general manager Jeff Twohey’s journey begins with a former Oshawa General - .

“Bobby Orr, who was his agent at the time, had a lot of our players - Eric and , Steve Downie - and so Bobby used to come to a lot of games. I used to sit in a suite, and one day [while Bobby was at a game] out of the blue he said to me, ‘Listen I got a young guy playing in Boston that I would like you to come look at’,” explained Twohey.

At the time Zach was a young, fifth ranked defenseman at Cushing Academy who failed to hit the radar of junior scouts. Following a trip down to Massachusetts, Twohey determined that Zach maintained a wealth of unlocked potential. “So I phoned Bobby and I said, ‘Listen, he’s a pretty good player, would you mind if I drove down to Massena and met his parents?,’ and Bobby said, ‘Go ahead’.”

Following a dinner with Zach’s parents, Vicky and Ike, Jeff sensed only half the duo was sold on the dream of being a Pete.

PAGE 10 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM PAGE 11 Continued from Page 8 At the end of the conversation, I just went through everything with his parents because Zach was obviously in Boston. I remember his mother, one of the nicest people you would ever meet. So getting near the end of the conversation I could see that his dad was mostly interested but his mom was disinterested so I remember I said to her, ‘Vicky, I get a sense that you’re not so interested,’ and she said, ‘We’ve heard this all before from our son you could still turn around and trade him to Sault Ste. Marie and we’d never see him’.”

In understanding the parental instinct, Jeff agreed to include the condition that Bogosian could only be traded with his permission.

“The two years he was with us, he was dynamic. He was a hard, competitive guy with skill,” described Jeff.

Bogosian arrived to the Petes following one of the organization’s best statistical seasons. Although the following two years saw less impressive records, Zach had a stand out performance, earning spots on the All-Rookie Team in 2007, First All-Star Team in 2008, a place in the OHL All-Star Classic, as well as at the CHL Top Prospects Game. He would be named as one of the top two defencemen in the league and go on to be selected third overall by the Atlanta Thrashers in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft following his two years with the Petes.

Zach spent three years in Georgia before moving with the Thrashers to Winnipeg then being traded to Buffalo - two markets reflective of Peterborough’s hockey- savvy demographic. He’s a fan favourite among the Buffalo population and is now a staple among the franchise.

He missed half of the 2017-18 season following a hip surgery and is currently dealing with an CREAM JERSEYS undisclosed injury.

Nonetheless, his fight to play healthy is something Bogosian is most proud of. “I battled a lot of injuries over the course of 11 years. The resiliency, the $65.00 +HST refusal to give up is something I want to be remembered as having.” WHILE SUPPLIES LAST

Sure he’s an outstanding player whose tenacity is incomparable, but what might be most noteworthy is Zach’s dedication to helping others. The d-man was nominated in 2018 for the Memorial Trophy, an award given annually to the NHL player who ‘best exemplifies leadership on and off the ice and has made a noteworthy humanitarian contribution in his community’. In the same year, Zach was chosen as the Sabres Foundation Man of the Year.

In 2015 he and his wife, Bianca D’Agostino, launched the BOGO Bunch Foundation with the mission to ‘create a family atmosphere in the lives of those directly and indirectly affected by cancer - if not to find a cure, then to give people the best possible quality of life’. The BOGO Bunch Foundation has raised more than $100,000 for the Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center. The nonprofit charity also raised significant funds for those affected by Hurricane Harvey, and Zach also sits on the celebrity board of advisors of the Make Lemon Aide Foundation for Cerebral Palsy. Last season he, alongside former teammate Ryan O’Reilly, donated a suite at each Sabres home game to a charitable cause board member. Continued on Page 18 PAGE 16 OFFICIAL GAMEDAY PROGRAM Continued from Page 13 His compulsion to help was modeled by his parents, Vicky and Ike Bogosian, throughout his childhood in Massena, New York. In describing their influence he stated, “My parents are the greatest people I know. We didn’t have much to give financially, but they gave a lot of time and a lot of love.” BOARD OF DIRECTORS President Dave Pogue Most recently Bogosian has joined the NHL in their ‘Hockey is for Everyone’ Governor Dr. Bob Neville campaign as the Buffalo Ambassador. His role is ‘to promote the League’s Secretary & Treasurer Dave Lorentz Vice President Ken Jackman broad diversity and inclusion initiatives’. When asked why he desired to Vice President Rod McGillis be involved, Bogosian explained, “People, regardless of gender, sexuality, Senior Advisor Bob Gainey race, whatever, should be able to seek out what they want to do,” a mentality BUSINESS/TEAM OPERATIONS that is sure to grow the game of hockey and make the current state of Executive Director, Business Operations Burton Lee hockey more welcoming.
