Madison, WI - The Madison Capitols are pleased to announce the appointment of Bob Gazich as team President.

A native of Hibbing, Minn., Gazich's hockey credentials span over 25 years and include time spent with the NHL's Minnesota North Stars in the early 1990's.

Gazich earned his Doctoral Degree in psychology from the University of St. Thomas, with leadership as his area of expertise. He also has a teaching background, spending time at the College of St. Benedict - St. John's University.

Additionally, Gazich's experience includes consultation of family-owned and owner managed businesses in the areas of leadership and succession planning.
