Zachary Ross Trotman (born August 26, 1990) is an American professional ice hockey defenseman. He is currently playing with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins in the American Hockey League (AHL) while under contract to the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League (NHL). Trotman was selected by the Boston Bruins in the 7th round (210th overall), the final pick of the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He was born in Carmel, Indiana but raised in Novi, Michigan.

Playing career

While playing for the Wichita Falls Wildcats of the North American Hockey League, Trotman committed to play Division I hockey for the Lake Superior State Lakers men's ice hockey team.[1]

After graduating from Novi High School, Trotman played three seasons (2009–2012) of NCAA Division I college hockey with the Lake Superior State Lakers men's ice hockey team.[2] Trotman was drafted by the Boston Bruins in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft after his freshman year at Lake Superior.[3] Forgoing his final year of NCAA eligibility, on March 24, 2012, Trotman signed a three-year entry level contract with the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League.[4]

On December 28, 2013, with a season-ending injury to defenseman Dennis Seidenberg, Trotman was called up to the Boston Bruins from the Providence Bruins and made his NHL debut against the Ottawa Senators.[5][6] Trotman scored his first NHL career goal on April 2, 2015, as the winning goal in a 3-2 regulation time Boston road win over the Detroit Red Wings.[7]

On July 1, 2016, Trotman signed as a free agent to a one-year, one-way contract with the Los Angeles Kings.[8] He was assigned to the Kings AHL affiliate, the Ontario Reign, and was limited to just 9 games before missing the remainder of the 2016–17 season, due to an upper body injury.

On July 1, 2017, Trotman left the Kings as a free agent and signed a one-year, two-way deal worth $650,000 with the defending Stanley Cup champions, the Pittsburgh Penguins.[9]

Personal life

Trotman married his fiance Jeanna in July 2017. Jeanna was also an athlete at Lake Superior State, competing in volleyball.[10]
