Some breaking news emerged from Vancouver in the last few minutes.
Canucks Name Captain
As we expected, the Vancouver Canucks officially named a captain, as the training camp is starting.
The team made a statement, revealing that Quinn Hughes is the new captain!
"INTRODUCING CAPTAIN QUINN!
Quinn Hughes has been named the 15th Captain in Canucks History! "
Here's what Hughes said in the announcement:
"It means a great deal to me to be named captain of the Canucks. When I came here 5 years ago, I knew what I was walking in to having grown up in Toronto; just a crazy hockey market and a passionate fan base.
It has been a pleasure and treat to play for this franchise and to be the captain is something that is incredibly special and something that I couldn't ever imagine would happen."
Patrik Alvin, the Canucks' GM, made the following declaration:
"We informed our core leadership group that Quinn was going to be the captain. Not only was everybody enthusiastic and supportive of the decision, but they were also extremely happy for Quinn. He is very well liked and respected inside our dressing room, and we know he will continue to grow and develop his leadership skills in the years to come."
