Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen announced today that Bill Zito, the founder and former president of Acme World Sports, has joined the club as an assistant general manager.
“Bill Zito is an astute businessman who understands all facets of our game and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Columbus Blue Jackets,” said Kekalainen. “I have known Bill for many years and believe he will be a great addition to our hockey operations staff as we continue our efforts to build a championship-caliber team.”
Zito joins the Blue Jackets after having spent the past 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.
