He only spent one season in Dauphin with the Kings, but Nicholas Zaharias made the most of it.

The Crystal Lake, Il., native recently committed to the Trine University Thunder of the Northern Collegiate Hockey Association.

Zaharias was third in scoring with the Kings this season, bending the twine 14 times, while adding 31 assists for 45 points in 57 games.

While Zaharias enjoys some peace of mind after landing his scholarship, other players with similar goals will descend upon the City of Sunshine, this weekend, hoping to impress the Dauphin coaching and scouting staffs as the Kings host their annual spring prospects camp.

More than 80 players born between 2008 and 2011 are expected to hit the ice at Credit Union Place to put their skills to the test during camp, which Kings director of business operations Christian Laughland said on the team’s website is a big economic boost for the city.

“It’s always great to host a number of players and parents and have them see, not only what the hockey club is about, but our community as a whole,” he said.

“There’s lots to see and do in Dauphin and this is a great opportunity for players to see what they could be getting into if they became a Dauphin King.”
