2005-06 season: Caruso wrapped a stellar career at Ohio State with his name firmly etched in the Buckeyes hockey history books. Among the school records he set are: career goals against average (2.03) and career shutouts (11). Caruso finished his senior season with a 13-18-5 record that included five shutouts and earned an honorable mention to the CCHA All-Conference Team.
