    A former Chicago Blackhawks player spent time with the family of fallen Chicago firefighter Daniel Capuano earlier this week.

    Daniel Carcillo, who was a forward with the Blackhawks, posted on Instagram: "I was humbled to be in the company of the Capuano family and spend some time with the boys at practice. My thoughts will be with them over the holidays."  

    Capuano, a 15-year veteran, died on Dec. 14 after falling into an elevator shaft at a warehouse fire.

    He was a youth hockey coach and longtime Blackhawks fan.

    I was humbled to be in the company of the Capuano family and spend some time with the boys at practice. My thoughts will be with them over the holidays.
