Kirill Kaprizov was on the go over the summer.
He went to Italy (for the first time), Turkey (with his parents) and Florida (where he skated with other Russian players).
Oh, and the theater.
That's how the Wild forward has learned more English, picking up words from movies.
Just this week before the Wild kicked off training camp on Thursday at Tria Rink in St. Paul, Kaprizov watched "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3."
"No invite yesterday," teammate Joel Eriksson Ek said with a smile.
An upbeat Kaprizov recapped his offseason after the first practice of camp with ease and mostly in English, even offering up a review of his recent viewing.
"I like it. It's funny," he said of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding 3" before adding in Russian (through an interpreter) that the movie was heartfelt.
