A Brentwood, Tennessee native, Zeke Zeier competed at the junior and collegiate levels in the NAHL and NCAA, where he learned firsthand the discipline, resilience, and relentless work ethic required to succeed in the game. The grind of earning ice time and proving himself shift after shift shaped the foundation of the coach he is today.

Following his playing career, Zeke moved into hockey operations with the Vegas Golden Knights organization, where he continued studying the game from a different perspective while gaining valuable experience within a professional environment.

Zeke has coached throughout Nashville and Las Vegas, working with athletes ranging from youth players to elite AAA, junior, and collegiate levels. His coaching philosophy is built on purposeful repetition, game-realistic training, and developing players who can think, react, and execute under pressure. By studying the sport at its highest levels and bringing those standards back to the developmental rink, he helps athletes improve one detail, one decision, and one habit at a time.

Z2 Hockey was born in Las Vegas when Zeke and his brother, Ike, set out to build something different—a program rooted in Hockey IQ, skill development, character, culture, and relentless competitiveness. Together, they brought that vision home to Nashville, Tennessee, the city that helped shape them as players and people.

Zeke believes every drill should serve the player, not the other way around. He challenges athletes to train with purpose, compete with confidence, lead with character, and commit to daily growth.
