Halifax Raiders Announce Team Captaincies

A press release from the Halifax Raiders' GM StamkosFan today saw the Canadian team announce the player leaders of the team going into S45 of the SMJHL. The press release was as follows.

Quote:The Halifax Raiders management team are happy to announce the Captain and Assistant Captains of our Season 45 Team.

Captain - Dom Montgomery
Assistant Captains - Jimmy Slothface, Perry Morgan

While the C given to Montgomery, a relative veteran to the very fresh-faced Raiders team isn't surprising, the two A's going to brand new rookies is a very interesting decision from the management. We decided to catch up with those involved to see if any light could be shed on the matter.

Our first target was StamkosFan instead. He was clearly in a rush and couldn't help much with a vauge response. "Overall, I think these guys are really solid players and classy fellows. They’re the kind of representation we want for the team and they’re the perfect example of what it means to be a Raider." Whether this was his, or a conjoined effort from the whole team's decision, it could be an interesting one for the interim-GMs potential last decision around the team.

Next we found the Captain himself, Dom Montgomery. "I'm honored to help lead this team and be a larger presence in the locker room. This is a really great group of players that I'm honored to be a part of." Again, an unsurprising pick for the C, will surely be a big part of the Raiders squad.

Our next target was Jimmy Slothface, first round pick of the recent SMJHL draft. I’m just happy to help the team where I can. "There are a ton of players in this locker room who can wear a letter so it’s an honour to be chosen." A humble response from Slothface, who will most definitely wear the A with pride.

Perry Morgan was right on hand, as the two rookies had clearly been spending some time together bonding. "When the boss told me I'd be wearing an A this season, I was definitely shocked, but I'm gonna show StamkosFan and the whole team that I'm worthy of it." The defenceman definitely shows promise, with sources saying he, and Slothman, already being big presences in the Halifax locker room.

It's worth noting that Troy Reynolds (Winger) was on looking our interviews with the two rookies, watching with a smirk and conceiving look on his face. We went over to ask him what he was doing, but he ran off calling us "lying, slanderous fucks," and other curses which we aren't allowed to print. We can only assume this comes thanks to our report on his escapades with his two fellow rookies which ended in a flipped car last week.

The 3 captains of the Raiders will have a big task to lead this team to any sort of success, with the most amount of rookies in the league, it'll be no easy feat.

Wow, you're so right. I hadn't even thought of it like that. Guess it helped that I captained some future GMs, eh? <3

@owenm43 and @slothfacekilla are guys you should expect to see great things from!
