Zach Miskovic

Zach Miskovic (born May 8, 1985) is an American professional ice hockey player of Croatian ancestry. He most recently played with the Indy Fuel in the ECHL.

Professional career On March 25, 2009, he signed with the Washington Capitals as a free agent, marking a significant step in his professional hockey career. After spending time with the organization and demonstrating his abilities, the Capitals decided to extend their commitment to him. On July 15, 2010, they re-signed him to a new one-year contract as a restricted free agent, showing their continued interest in having him contribute to the team’s future success.

Miskovic faced a challenging beginning to the 2010–11 season after suffering a knee injury in July 2010 caused by a hit from the 6-foot-8, 262-pound Joe Finley during the Capitals' development camp. This injury disrupted his off-season training, but he pushed through and managed to play 58 games with the Hershey Bears, achieving a career-best seven goals. In recognition of his efforts, the Washington Capitals signed him to another one-year contract extension on May 18, 2011.

On February 26, 2014, Miskovic was traded from the Rockford IceHogs to the Iowa Wild in exchange for future considerations. After the trade, he joined the Wild's roster and participated in 19 games for the remainder of the season.

On July 2, 2014, Miskovic decided to return to the Rockford IceHogs by agreeing to a one-year contract.

On September 23, 2015, following a period of remaining unsigned throughout the offseason, Miskovic decided to stay within the Rockford IceHogs organization by signing a one-year contract with their ECHL affiliate team, the Indy Fuel.
