Giancarlo Capaz, Shockers' star goalie, has announced today that this season will be in fact be his final season with the team and possibly his last of his hockey career. Capaz made his reasons short and to the point stating that he reached this decision after experiencing discomfort in his back. Capaz also freelances for a few other teams in other leagues and it is not for certain whether he will drop hockey all together or fill in on an on-call basis for those teams if needed in the future.
"We're sad to see him go. When you are building a dynasty or even just a normal team to play, you think about goaltending a lot, you got to have someone you can trust between the pipes and [Capaz] was our guy. He's got to look out for himself though," commented team captain, Alain Godard.
Capaz has confirmed that he is all cleared to finish the rest of the season with the Shockers and hopes to bring home the cup for his last season.
"I made it twice to the finals with the Blues [former NABHL Elite Division team] and never won it, it'd be nice to go out on a high note," Capaz said.
With Capaz stepping down, this opens the door for a new face but as this was such a shock to the Shockers' organization, there has been no mentionings of a replacement for next season.
"We'll keep our focus on this season and worry about next season when the time comes," said Andrew Stevens.
