Capitals Corner Profile: Branko Radivojevic

The first junior Capitals in Capitals Corner is new arrival Branko Radivojevic. The 24-year-old forward joins the organization as a free agent acquisition. He'll likely play at No. 2 or No. 3 right wing.

Radivojevic checks in at 6-0 and 186 pounds. He's a good skater with good speed and strength. His passing is also strong and he does well in the offensive end. Branko needs to work on his discipline and improve his overall skill level if he's to make it in the pros. Last season he had four goals and four assists in 46 games.

A native of Piestany, Slovakia, Radivojevic is single. His favorite musical group is Limp Bizkit and his favorite movie is American Pie 2. He loves The Simpsons and Friends on TV, but the worst movie he ever saw is Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. When not playing hockey, Branko enjoys playing tennis, video games, and swimming. He also loves to sleep on his off days.

Radivojevic started skating at four years old, and his hockey idol growing up was Oto Hascak. Branko's most memorable hockey moment was winning the J.Ross Robertson Cup as OHL Champion with the Belleville Blues in 1999.
