The Vancouver Canucks named defenceman Quinn Hughes as the 15th captain in team history on Monday.
Hughes served as an alternate captain for the first time last season, when he posted seven goals and a career-high 76 points in 78 games.
“It means a great deal to me to be named captain of the Canucks,” Hughes said. “When I came here five years ago, I knew what I was walking in to having grown up in Toronto; just a crazy hockey market and a passionate fan base. It has been a pleasure and treat to play for this franchise and to be the captain is something that is incredibly special and something that I couldn’t ever imagine would happen.
The Canucks ended last season without a captain after Bo Horvat was traded to the New York Islanders in January. FEATURE READ |
