I wanted to make a comeback with Danbury, but other circumstances in my life at the time prevented that from happening. Now that Phil is coaching again and I am in a position to make another go at it, I am thrilled to have this opportunity to join the Sea Wolves organization and have another chance to win under Espo.” We asked him out of all the teams in the league how and why did he decided on the Sea Wolves “I knew at my age it’s now or never in terms of a comeback, and once I heard Phil got the job in Mississippi it was really an easy decision.

I am very confident that I will have a solid season but personal stats are of little importance to me to be honest. I know I have to contribute to help us get to where we want to go but as long as we’re winning that’s all that matters.”Lastly we asked him to give our fans his season prediction, “As for my prediction for the fans, all I can tell you is that we will be competitive and you will be entertained.” Caranci stated
