Carolina Hurricanes: Alternate Captain Role has Many Candidates

Entering training camp this weekend, the Carolina Hurricanes have their fair share of questions to address. Who will fill the holes in the bottom six? Will Noah Hanifin make the squad? Is this the year the team finally makes the postseason? Another, less well known question, is who will become the second alternate captain.

Currently, the two Staal brothers own the leadership roles on the team, with Eric being the captain and Jordan being the first alternate. Those two remain as the core leaders from last season.

In 2014-2015, there was a lot of change in alternate captaincy.
