Yale Hockey Academy(British Columbia) 1999-born defenseman Alec Capstick has verbally committed to Notre Dame:
Sources say @A_Capstick34 has committed to @NDHockey scholarship. The @YHA_U18 D-Man & @BladesHockey pick has excelled in the @CSSHL league.

Capstick retweeted that tweet, so we're going to take that as confirmation.
Capstick is a tough defensive defenseman that plays with a physical edge to his game. Despite not turning 16 until next week, Capstick has already played two games in the BCHL as an affiliate player with the Langley Rivermen.
He was selected in the fourth round of the WHL Bantam Draft last season by the Saskatoon Blades.
