Observations:

January, 2012 - McCabe captained the U.S. to gold at the WJC and was named to the tournament all-star team. he was often on the ice against the opposing team's top forwards and held them in check. McCabe also contributed to the offense in a big way, with three goals and six points in the team's sevens contests. He will return to the University of Wisconsin to complete his sophomore season. Rich Dillon

December, 2012- McCabe is one of 27 players named to the Team USA preliminary roster for the WJC and is expected to be on the final roster.

May, 2012 – McCabe is a very solid defenseman who chooses the safe play most times. A very good skater, he had 12 points in 26 games as a freshman for Wisconsin. He was also one of the youngest college players in the country, with his 18^th birthday nearly coinciding with his first game as a Badger. McCabe missed some time with a severed tendon in his finger, but has recovered completely. While he doesn’t have great size, he uses it effectively and positions himself to his advantage in one-on one battles.

Fantasy Outlook: B-

A very smart and responsible player, McCabe is a talented passer with an underrated shot who is capable of producing more offensively but projects as more of a two-way player.
