The Capitals have been making moves recently to bolster their prospect depth. Part of this plan is Yale University forward Joe Snively, who just last month signed a two-year entry level contract with Washington as an undrafted college free agent. A native of Herndon, Virginia, the chance to sign with the team he grew up watching and supporting was a dream come true for 23-year old Snively.
Snively began his journey in professional hockey in 2012 at the age of 16, being drafted at 57th overall by the Sioux City Musketeers in the USHL Futures Draft after playing Under 16’s with Selects Hockey Academy.
