Pete Zingoni (born April 28, 1981 in Bridgeport, Connecticut) is an American professional ice hockey player. He plays centre for the Philadelphia Phantoms in the American Hockey League.

[edit] Playing career

Zingoni was drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in the eighth round, 231th overall, of the 2000 NHL Entry Draft after playing in the EJHL with the New England Jr Huskies. Zingoni began his career playing collegiate hockey with the Providence College Friars of Hockey East during the 2000-01 season. Following four seasons at the collegiate level, he signed an amateur try-out contract on March 19, 2004 with the Columbus Blue Jackets, and was promptly sent down to play with their AHL affiliate, the Syracuse Crunch. He played his first proffesional game with them on March 21, 2004, but was released two weeks later.

After a season in which he played for three different teams in Europe, Zingoni signed a contract with the Trenton Titans of the ECHL on September 26, 2005. Although he did not make his debut until January 13, 2006 due to a groin strain, Zingoni impressed the orginazation, and on October 16, 2006, he was signed to a proffesional try-out contract by the Philadelphia Phantoms, the Titans' AHL affiliate.

On November 11, 2006, Zingoni proved he could stay in the AHL when he scored the fourth natural hat-trick in the Phantoms history, also scoring his first three points of the season, in a 6-3 victory over the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.
