At Dartmouth: With his large frame, Hafer will be used to set up in front of opposing goals to create havoc. Seeing his first collegiate action last season, Hafer appeared in 12 games. He netted his first goal at Princeton (1/11), and added an assist later in the season against Princeton (2/21).

High School: Hafer earned eight letters at Haverford Township High School, competing in both hockey and tennis for four years. He was the number one tennis player for three years and was named the EHSHL 1994 Player of the Year. Hafer played with the Philadelphia Junior Flyers from 1992-1994, helping his team to a third-place finish at the 1994 National Championships.

Personal: Zach lists his hometown Philadelphia Flyers as his favorite NHL team and the Flyers' John LeClair as his favorite player. Zach enjoys any Italian food while reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby. He also lists The Shawshank Redemption as his favorite movie. Cornell's Lynah Arena is Zach's favorite rink because "of the electricity of the crowd." Beating Vermont last year, 4-1, in Zach's first game at Thompson Arena would qualify as his finest college hockey moment.
