Caporusso Basks in College Experience

---

There’s a pro career awaiting Michigan’s Louie Caporusso, but the last thing he wants to do is rush through his final few weeks of college hockey. The Wolverine senior spoke with the Ottawa Senators web site about his experiences in school:

Forgive Louie Caporusso if the thought of seeing his University of Michigan odyssey end leaves him feeling a little blue.

The Ottawa Senators draftee (third round, 90th overall, 2007) can’t say enough about the four years he’s spent wearing the maize and blue for the Wolverines men’s hockey program.

“It’s been an unbelievable journey here,” Caporusso said by phone from Ann Arbor, Mich., where the Wolverines are gearing up for the Central Collegiate Hockey Association playoffs. “This has probably been one of the best places I’ve ever played in my life.

“I don’t regret one bit coming here. This is something I’ll remember for the rest of my life, playing at the University of Michigan. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The coaches have been tremendous in terms of developing me as a hockey player and as a person. They care so much. They truly do care. And I think that’s key if you want to develop as a hockey player.”
