What happened: The 26-year-old forward spent 2025-26 with Cardiff after completing his college career at Denver. He returns to North America after one season in Britain's Elite League.
Why it matters: Atlanta is building its roster for the upcoming ECHL season after extending qualifying offers to six forwards earlier this month. The club opens Oct. 17 against Norfolk.
By the numbers: In 35 EIHL games in 2025-26, Caponi recorded three assists and 42 penalty minutes. He added one goal in four playoff games.
What to watch: His role should become clearer when training camp opens.
