The Chicago Blackhawks have announced that forward Nick Foligno as the franchise's 35th captain.
Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson said...
"In a very short amount of time, Nick has quickly earned the respect of his teammates and our staff. Nick's commanding presence in the locker room has been instrumental in helping the team find its identity. He has served as a mentor to many of our young players both on and off the ice while also heading up the leadership group comprised of our veteran players, and we are beyond confident that he will flourish in the role of captain as we usher in a new era of Blackhawks hockey."
Foligno said...
"The fact that Danny (Wirtz), Kyle (Davidson), Luke (Richardson), and my teammates have all put their faith in me to lead this amazing group is extremely humbling, and I think them all for the opportunity. I am beyond honored to serve as captain for this storied franchise and its incredible fans, especially during such a pivotal time toward the team's future."
