Schooners announce captains

The Halifax Schooners announced its leadership group for the 2018-19 season.

There will be no set captain for the entire season, but James Neal, Rick Nash and Dion Phaneuf will all serve as alternate captains.

“There are a lot of leaders in this room,” said Head Coach Jody Shelley. “These three guys stand out the most and are our most experienced guys.”

Nash served as captain for the Columbus Blue Jackets for four season from 2008-2012 before being traded to the New York Rangers where he would later serve as an alternate captain.

Phaneuf captained the Toronto Maple Leafs for six seasons from 2010-2016 before being traded to Ottawa.

Neal has served as an alternate captain with the Nashville Predators.

The team does plan on naming a captain, but not until next season, confirmed Shelley.

“We are going to stick with three A’s for now. We may even possibly rotate a few letters around, but in the meantime, our dressing room has a fantastic atmosphere and we want to keep it that way.”

The Halifax Schooners begin its inaugural season on the road tomorrow (Oct. 12) against the Edmonton Oilers.
