Gianluca Caputi (born October 1, 1988) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey player and current associate coach with the Kingston Frontenacs of the Ontario Hockey League.\n', '

Luca grew up in Maple, Ontario, a suburban community north of Toronto, Ontario. In his final season with the Niagara IceDogs, Caputi found his balance with 51 goals and 111 points in just 66 games, becoming an offensive juggernaut on the first line. His 111 points were fourth in league scoring and his 51 goals were third in the OHL while both his 51 goals and 111 points are the most in one season for the Mississauga and Niagara IceDogs organization. Caputi led the team into the playoffs where they defeated the Mississauga St. Michael\'s Majors 4-0 before losing to the Oshawa Generals 4 games to 2 in the conference semifinals.\n', '

Caputi was drafted in the fourth round by the Pittsburgh Penguins of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft as the 111th overall pick. While several scouts projected him as high as the 40th pick claiming that he was a great package of both size and skill possessing a long reach, he managed to drop into the 4th round. Teams passed on him due to his inconsistent play of edge and skill with a lack of effective hitting.[citation needed]\n', '
