Fawcett discussed how growing up in New England shaped him into a college hockey player.

“Rhode Island hockey has grown a lot. I grew up playing for an organization called the Providence Capitals. A couple of those players are on Providence, so it’ll be fun to play against them,” said Fawcett, senior forward.
