Jacppo has recently learned a lot from being close to championships and losing them in his time in Maine. Over his past two seasons he had the opportunity to play with some of the best players that have ever been on the SMJHL ice and it elevated his game to a completely different level. The Timber would go on to finish near the top of the regular season standings for and even when a regular season title this past season. The playoffs would start and the team would look sharp but, there was just something missing in key games and the team could just not find a way to take control in championship series. This was extremely disheartening and made the whole team really question their abilities. However, Jacppo has chosen to learn from this and wants to be the leader for the team this season that takes control and leads the Maine Timber to their 4th 4-Star Cup Title.
