Season 15: A New Era, With Signs Of Talent

As the Capital's joined the league with 3 games remaining in Season 15, they had an opportunity to get a look at what sort of team they were dealing with. With 15 of 19 roster players signed that are currently 25 or younger, some questioned there experience and talent, including there GM, but what happened in those 3 games really proved what this team could be capable of.

"We're in it for the long haul, thats why we went ahead and signed a bunch of young talent with loads of potential, guys like Brenneman, Hueso, Braga, Fitzmaurice. We're thinking more about the future then winning championships anytime soon, I'm not expecting us to be winning right now, I'm just looking for the development from the young guys, getting them ice time, playing them in different situations, etc."

If that be the case for General Manager Mike Gillis, then the future is looking very bright. After going 3-0 in the "Pre-Season" for the Captails, they outscored theyre opponents 22-2, and got some pretty impressive numbers from the young guns. The 19 year old centermen Jayson Hueso took the opportunity to shine and ran with it, netting 3 goals and 4 helpers for 7 points and a +4 rating, and a 62% faceoff percentage. Another 7 points came along from 23 year old (LW)Gabriel Brenneman, with 4 goals and 3 assists and a +2 rating, impressing not only the fans, but his teamates too. As the forwards showed much hope for the Capital's, people also couldnt keep their eyes off the 19 year old Defensemen from Compton Quebec, Shon Fitzmaurice, as he took his average of 22:14 a game and made every second count, including 2 powerplay goals and 2 helpers, to boast a +4 rating.

The Capital's now have the off-season to make some minor adjustments if need be, and prepare themselves for their first full season in the GHL.
