Two from Stony Brook University to attend Brahmas prospect camp

The Texas Brahmas prospect camp will welcome two players from Long Island’s Stony Brook University this year. Seawolves team captain Angelo Serse will be joined by assistant captain Dan Capizzuto as they attempt to make the cut for a spot on the Brahmas’ 2009-10 roster.

The American Collegiate Hockey Association Division I Seawolves finished the season 21-11 and for the 11th season in a row were invited to the National Championship Tournament in Cleveland, Ohio but fell short in a heart breaker to Delaware 4-3. The team also went to the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Association championship game but lost to West Chester University by a score of 11-3.

Serse, a Health Science major from Monroe, New York stands 5’ 10”, 185 pounds and played junior hockey for the Boston Harbor Wolves (EJHL). During his three seasons at Stony Brook, Serse tallied 120 points (76 G, 44 A) and 164 penalty minutes in 81 games played. This past season, Serse scored a career high 50 points (31 G, 19 A) including six power play goals and six short-handed goals. He was also selected to the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Association All-Star Team.

"It should be fun and I am looking forward to get out there and skate with the team," Serse said. "I've been working hard this off season to make sure I am ready for the camp."

Capizzuto, a business major from Patterson, New York played for the Hartford Wolfpack (AJHL) before attending Stony Brook. At 6’ 0”, 175 pounds, Cappizuto scored 43 points (18 G, 25 A) and 42 penalty minutes in 78 games played during his three seasons at Stony Brook. He was moved from forward to defenseman this past season and was selected to the American Collegiate Hockey Association All-Star Team as well as the Eastern Collegiate Hockey Association All-Star Team.

You folks are getting two of the most dominant players from New York. Serse is the scorer, and is physically strong with the puck. Capizzuto converted to D full time this past season and just dominated the league from that position. His vision and accurate touch will move the puck out of the D zone and onto a teamates stick, effortlessly. He has quarterbacked the PP from the point whether at the D or as a forward. Both players skating ability will remind you of how the europeans teach their players how to stride. Fluid.
