"We have many players on our club who are leaders both on and off the ice. We feel Brayden best exemplifies what type of player our organization is looking for in a Captain. There are a number of players who could wear letters, but unfortunately only four can wear them in a game. Brayden is going into his fourth season with the club and understands the standard of excellence we strive to accomplish" added Chynoweth.
