Blizzard Announce S23 Captains
#1

With the departure of Edmonton's long-serving captain Lucas Smith, the Blizzard are proud to announce that we have chosen his successor. With many great options in the Blizzard locker room, a choice was far from easy, and ultimately was decided by team vote. Just about all of our players have a case to wear the C on their chest - factors such as seniority, locker room activity, public presence, quality of play, and others all being considered. It will not be easy moving on from Smith, the only Captain many of our guys have known, but we are confident in the leadership abilities of our club and certainly in those of the individual who was chosen.

First we will announce those players who will be serving as Alternate Captains for the Edmonton Blizzard in Season 23. The first is the only returning Captain from our S22 squad, EMILS VILMENIETIS! "Villy" has been a lead-by-example type of player for us for quite some time now, with a positive and selfless attitude and an undying desire to see our team have success above all else. As one of the longest-serving active Blizzard players, keeping the "A" on Villy was a no-brainer.

The other alternate captain for the Blizzard as we head into Season 23 will be recently re-signed young star THEO KANE! Theo has developped into a dominant player for us quite rapidly, exceeding even our own expectations for his first few seasons in the league. Beyond his play on the ice, however, Kane has become an influential member of our locker room, and the league at large, holding a number of positions and recently becoming an SMJHL Co-GM. A very active, positive, and helpful player, naming Kane as an Alternate Captain makes a lot of sense for our organization.

Finally, the Captain of the Edmonton Blizzard!

JACKSON ROGERS-TANAKA will wear the letter C on his jersey going forward as the teams' new Captain! JRT joined our team in the Season 20 Entry Draft, and has since blossomed into an elite defender for our club. He has been instrumental in our player development since then, especially since being named GM of the Kelowna Knights, and is a well-respected member of our locker room and certainly the league in general. JRT exemplifies what it is to be a member of the Edmonton Blizzard and we couldn't be happier naming him as the face of our franchise.

Congratulations to our three captains, you've got large shoes to fill but we're all very confident in your ability to do so!

Don't worry, JP isn't part of the future. Not like he knows what he's talking about.

An old man's dream ended. A young man's vision of the future opened wide. Young men have visions, old men have dreams. But the place for old men to dream is beside the fire.
