Minor news. I think Saponari will stick around for the IceCaps next season.
He's a pretty good hockey player, plays a very Chevy N/S power game, and fits the organization's tendency to have a RW playmaker haha.
He was once highly thought back in his BU days.
Should be a decent depth forward to improve the IceCaps as we run our other prospects through there.

Just before the game, the IceCaps officially announced they've signed forward Vinny Saponari to an amateur tryout contract.
The 23-year-old Saponari was a fourth-round draft pick of the Atlanta Thrashers (later to become the Winnipeg Jets) in 2008 out of the U.S. National Team Development Program, where he was a teammate of IceCaps' forward John Albert.
A native of Powder Springs, Ga., Saponari was the first Georgia-born and raise player drafted into the NHL.
Saponari played two seasons for Boston University, but was dismissed from the Terriers late in 2009-10 season for breaching team rules. He spent the following seasoin with Dubugque of the USHL, helping the Fighting Saints win a league title, then transferred to Northeastern University, where he spent the last two seasons.
The six-foot-one, 195-pound right-shooting, Saponari wound up his collegiate career earlier this week. He was a senior captain for Northeastern this season and finished second in team scoring with seven goals and 22 assists, for 29 points. in 34 games.
Saponari arrived in St. John's today, but will not play in tonight's contest.
