Remembering Cormick Scanlan (2006-2022)
The Capitals mourn the loss of Cormick Scanlan. Cormick was a Capitals player from his time as a mini-mite through his past two seasons on our Bantam AA team. He now plays for Cretin-Derham Hall.
During his Peewee B1 year, Cormick's signature move was the "choo choo"; which featured him using his size and speed to beat defenseman to the net. On his way past defenders, parents would shout, "choo choo" as Cormick charged past defenders towards the net. Cormick used this move in the winning goal to beat Edina 1-0 in the Eden Prairie tournament that season. His former coach, Jeff Wright commented recently, "If you needed a big goal, Cormick was your guy."
Dane Erickson, Cormick's Bantam AA coach, remembers Cormick as a player of great character, with a great attitude, who always worked hard and finished first in every race - on and off the ice. "I can still see him barreling down the ice, beating the defenseman wide, and driving the puck hard to the net."
Our thoughts and prayers are with Heather, Joe, Sloane, Brynn, and Colin at this difficult time.
