>>UConn coach Mike Cavanaugh has been working with Capone — who had committed to Maine before choosing UConn last year — and the other players on the team three times a week. While there haven’t been 5-on-5 drills, it hasn’t taken long for Capone to impress his new coach.
“He has done a nice job,” Cavanaugh said. “He has acclimated himself pretty well. He is big and strong. We are still in pods of eight players at a time so I think he will shine even more when it is 5 on 5, when he gets to go up and down the ice and be physical.
“I naturally had seen him play quite a bit because he is a Connecticut kid, he made a decision to commit to school [Maine] very early but you still watch him, we would be out watching Salisbury play all the time. I thought he just kept getting better and better, I saw him play in the USHL and I thought he was just fantastic.”
It was during his time in the USHL that Capone decided to stay home and be part of the program Cavanaugh is building at UConn.<<
