The Laval Rocket are a little over a month away from taking the ice for the first time in team history. It will be a momentous occasion and one that will bring plenty of eyes to the Montreal Canadiens’ AHL team.
Last year in St. John’s, Max Friberg was chosen as the captain, and was a great leader for the team with his two-way play serving as a good example to some of the younger prospects. He played an integral role in getting the IceCaps to the Calder Cup Playoffs.
Friberg’s decision to return home to Sweden for the 2017-18 campaign left the AHL team without a captain, making the leadership of the minor-league club something to be determined ahead of its first season in Laval.
