Being named captain of any professional sports organization is an honor that most athletes strive for, but not necessarily obtain during their careers.
A captain in the world of hockey is an individual who has the ability to lead their team to greatness through their on-ice abilities, knowledge of the sport, and understanding of each individual who steps foot on the ice. The captain becomes the face of the franchise and the leader that everyone relies on through the ups and downs of each season.
In the case of the Arizona Coyotes, only three players have worn the “C” on either their Kachina style or Sedona red sweaters in the 19 year history of the franchise.
