I know that we have our C in Landy but this topic has been in my mind a while, since talk of how Hejduk wouldn't be captain forever was around. It seems that the Avalanche as we all know draft for character as well as skill and you often hear about how their draft picks were captains of their teams. It got to the point that I heard it so much I wondered just how many of our current players and prospects were captains of their teams at one point.
MacKinnon this year may not be the best example not being the Mooseheads captain (or alternate) but he was a captain at the top prospects game.
Anyone have a good resource for finding that information?
Maybe I'll collect the information here if others were interested as well...
