With such an amazing class of rookies in our locker room already Dizzy and I had to set out and decide how to narrow down who we would even choose as captain and alternates for the upcoming season. The obvious choice for Captain came right to Shooter McGavin @c00kies . Unfortunately, McGavin had to be called up to Calgary on an emergency basis and so it left us scratching our heads on who should take that spot. With such an infusion of youth into the line up and no active returning vets we decided to bring our youth right to the spotlight and allow them the chance to lead this team as we begin our turn around from last place to going for a cup. So without further ado I'll get on with it.



Announcing our first alternate captain. We've loved every thing we've seen from him since joining the locker room. He's been a great leader among our rookies and has helped them all stay active and updating. He's been a great addition to the team and I can't wait to see what he can do for us this season and for many more. Congrats to Oliver Kovacs!!
@KillTheArchitect 


Our next alternate captain while now has a young player is definitely no rookie around the league. He's been a great addition to our locker room and I was absolutely thrilled to bring him in during the draft. I expect he'll put up huge numbers for us for a long time to come and is always there to help the team when it is needed. Congrats to Crush Cile!!
@Wally 


And now our Captain. Since he has entered the league he has been on a tear to become the best player in the entire league. We were so thrilled to bring him into the team and have not regretted a single second of it. There's no doubt in my mind he will lead this team to lots of wins and will always be there to help us all be the best we can. He's been instrumental in keeping our locker room engaged and pumped for the season at every corner and he's been such a huge help in allowing us to have fun. I expect so many great things out of him even after he's long left the team. Congrats to Leshaun King!
@King


Congratulations to all 3 of our young players for this accomplishment! I have no doubt that we made the right choices and I look forward to seeing y'all leading us to many cups! 

Wow, thank you for the kind words. Obviously honoured and we have such an amazing group in Halifax, going to be a fun few seasons. Go raiders.

Young group that looks like they can handle the leadership task. Best of luck!
