The Capitals remain committed to their Canadian offensive powerhouse: In the 2024/25 season, Franklin emerged as the pivotal figure in Vienna's offensive play. With 37 points (17 goals, 20 assists) during the regular season, he not only led the Capitals in scoring but was also directly involved in roughly one-third of all goals scored by the team in that phase.

Zane Franklin: "I'm very excited about extending my contract. I've grown very fond of Vienna and our fans. There’s a positive atmosphere in our team and the entire organization, and I’m confident we'll achieve greater success next season. Personally, I aim to maintain my performance level, keep improving, and help the team reach our goals."
