>I would say the logical choices for C's are Jackson and Nault. possibly give a > A to Ryan but with the threat that it could be removed at any time. I wish I knew Jackson and Nault, but I don't. Except that they will be upperclassmen, why should either be captain? It sounds like some view captain as an honorary position ... something akin to Grand Marshall of a parade. Each of our very successful teams have had one or a few very devoted leaders: people unafraid to interact with players and coaches, and ability to prepare the team for success. Leadership "on the ice" follows from that ... it isn't the be all, end all. I don't know if Prestin can or can't put three words together, but he appears to be prepared and consistently play hard ... making me believe he would do the preparation and follow thru leading the team to excell. Besides, wearing the "C" would allow Prestin to talk with the referees and possibly be within the rules. ;-) cheers, wayne
