Noel Acciari played the majority of the 2017-18 season with a nagging injury that severely impacted his skating. After an offseason surgery to repair a sports hernia and a full summer of rehab, the 26-year-old is feeling more like his old self.
"I'm definitely moving a lot better than I was last year," said Acciari. "I'm not at the speed I used to be, but it's getting there. I think each day's getting a lot better where I'm standing still to get my feet going quick and getting to the puck. I think each day, like I said before, is just progressing, and I'm excited to see that and feeling as good as I do right now. I'm excited for the season to get going, to take that next step and keep my game going."
