Option 2

As captain of the Tampa Bay Barracuda it is my job to be an influential figure on and off the ice. Whether it is making that extra physical play or coaching in the locker room or during practice it is something that I am born to do. I would sacrifice my own performance to make someone else or the team play better. I have a defensive focus in my game and leave the goal scoring up to my team mates.

Off the ice I take extra time with the (mostly) rookie players to make them feel comfortable on the ice and deal with the pressure that comes along when it is playoff time. Playoffs are a special season within a season with a lot more pressure and more hectic arenas. So helping them out dealing with that is something that helps the team greatly.

I take a lot of pride in my role as captain.
