Yukon Rush Captains

As is tradition with almost every hockey team from Peanuts to the NHL at the start of the season fans, media and the players look forward to see who the leaders of the teams are going to be. There are many ways that Captains of the teams are selected from fan votes, media input, coaches’ pets and team selection. In the case of the Yukon Rush it was discussed for about a whole five seconds if the management team should select the captains or should it be placed in the hands of the players. With a slim roster this season we still decided to stay with the more traditional route of having the players select the captains.

 

A few trades later and still no change in the actual Captains selected meaning we don’t have to have a complete revote for the Captains as we are also eighteen games into the season so about bloody time we get the actual letter on the jersey where they belong so without much more waffling here are the Yukon Rush Captains for season seventy nine:

 

Alternate Captains:

Both of the alternate captains received 75% of the votes to be a captain of the Yukon Rush this season with one of the two also collecting a vote to be Captain. That I will leave you guessing. So after some thought of how many Alternate Captains to have this season our love GM made the choice easier by trading way one of the players that would have been in contention for an Alternate so we have decided to have two Alternates this year along side the Captain. Without much further pancakes here are the Alternates:

Alternate: Johnny Appleweed  @Elijah (Fong's Son)

Entering their second season with the Rush, Appleweed currently sits third in team scoring but seems to be the true team player as they have only scored two goals on the season but an impressive eleven assists. This play making forward clearly not only shows an unselfish aspect on the ice but off the ice as the teammates have selected him an Alternate for the Rush this season.

Alternate: Oskar Lindbergh

@Doomsday

The first big player trade for by the management team and the player that currently will determine the placement of the team the most in the standing this season. It wasn’t that much of a surprise to see Tender Lindbergh selected to be an Alternate of the teams this season. Impressive 2.97ga and .912sav% more then keeps the Rush hanging around games.

 

 

Receiving 100% of the votes to be a Captain of the team and 50% of the votes to be the Captain, the team selected:

Captain: Apollo @SexyWrench

Now entering his third season with the Yukon Rush, Apollo has lead the team on the ice with physical play leading the team with sixty four hits and three game winners while placing second currently in team scoring. A very much heart and sole type of player that will do anything to win. It hasn’t gone unnoticed by the teammate as they select Apollo as the teams’ captain.

 

 

Without a doubt we are very proud of the players that have been selected to lead the team this season and hopefully we will make a Cinderella run this season with this leadership group guidance.

 

Lets feel the Rush!!
