With the loss of Eric Staal at the trade deadline last season, the Carolina Hurricanes did not name a captain to replace him. This season continues the no captain look to the team. Raleigh’s News and Observer reported:
Canes coach Bill Peters said Jordan Staal, Justin Faulk, Jeff Skinner and Victor Rask would wear A’s this season. Skinner will be an alternate captain at home games and Rask on the road.
And that’s been the story this season. No captain. No mention of even thinking about naming a captain. Ron Francis and Bill Peters seem content with the team not having a captain for the foreseeable future.
