More recent obscure captains than Derek McKenzie?

A lot of casual fans have probably never even heard his name. Captains are usually star or marquee players.

Who are some obscure captains in recent years? I know Cody McLeod was recently a captain of the Avs.

Who else?

Cody wore an "A", but I don't think he was ever a captain:

Gabriel Bourque wears an "A" for the Avs right now, that's pretty obscure.

Jeff Halpern for the Capitals. Steve Ott for Buffalo

 

[PunkRockLocke]

Roberto Luongo for the Canucks

Stand corrected

You've also got the Devil's who like to name unassuming players captains. Last two captains are Andy Greene and Bryce Salvador.

Dave Lowry for the Calgary Flames. Right before Iginla

Erik Brewer was the captain when the Blues were awful coming out of the lockout.

Nothing obscure about a 5th overall pick who was well known and twice a gold medalist for the national team....

Ference

Tim Taylor was the Tampa Bay Lightning captain from 2006-2008

Gabriel Bourque is only wearing an A because Comeau is out. Comeau normally wears the A.

All the oilers captains before mcdavid where gritty guys

 

[Agent Zub]

Mark Boroweiki once wore a A.


He was also once a first line LW.

I think Ference was the captain for a year or two? I'm not sure.

 

[Voight]

Chris Taylor for the Lightning after Andreychuk retired & before Lecavalier.

I am not sure if anyone outside of Tampa Bay knew he was there captain

Comeau wears an A in Colorado, that's pretty obscure.

 

[Mugzy97]

Pacioretty

 

[BonMorrison]

Gabriel Bourque is only wearing an A because Comeau is out. Comeau normally wears the A.

Aren't there better candidates to wear the A with Comeau out like Wilson?

He's at least a NHL regular. Bourque's been out of the league for years until this point.

 

[Terry Yake]

steve mckenna once wore the C for the pre-crosby/malkin pens

 

[tom leafers]

On a side note, there are 4 teams in the league that do not have captains, which is more then i thought.

Derek Mackenzie is a weird one. I heard of him last year but honestly didnt know he was in the league for that long
