Who do we think the captains are going to be? I think Reilly is an obvious choice given he was one last season. Maybe Burgess and Polino? Gornall and Zieky seem to have good leadership qualities too.

Will Reilly has always struck me as a bit of a hothead on the ice, which isn't a great quality when you have to make your case to the refs. That said, he's probably our best returning player and he wore the A, so it's probably him. I don't have any idea what these guys are like in the room, but choosing one of the mid-season additions seems weird since they haven't really put in the time.

I agree that choosing one of the transfers would be odd.

It might seem odd, but when they joined the team, we started to win. They also were with the team for the entire season.
I could see one of them in a leadership role.

As far as captains, it would not surprise me at all if Brady Ferner gets an A and gets the C in 2020 when we will have a dearth of seniors. It was predicted, I think by his USHL coach, that he would become Captain by his junior year. Also, Smith had him several times speak on post game interviews when he was not a significant offensive contributor.

As usual, I will probably be wrong.

I wonder if RPI-TV is going to produce a video of all of the home goals this year.

Did we even have any?

About a minute or two's worth.

I have no first hand knowledge of who may or not wear letters this coming season. What I can tell you is that Smith does no have a history of underclassmen or non seniors wearing the C. As for a USHL coach saying a player will wear a C .... unless he is the coach of that college program I would take his statement with a grain of salt.

I would expect that this years group of seniors will wear the letters.
