Coach Cappelletti’s plan is to build upon the success and the storied tradition of the De Smet Jesuit Hockey Program. While his primary focus is to drive success on the ice, he will be aligned to the DeSmet mission and values of developing our student athletes into becoming men for others both off the ice and within our communities.

“I’m very excited about this opportunity to lead the De Smet

Jesuit Hockey Program. I’ve always had great respect for the De

Smet Jesuit Program. Even when we competed at the high school

level, we knew it would be very competitive, but we also knew the

De Smet Jesuit players and coaching staff would conduct

themselves with class and professionalism. I plan to uphold that

standard as I focus on putting the best possible product on the ice

for years to come.”
