Banackock 8,141 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 This off-season has been a fairly significant one for the Bears organization. We seen a management change, a lot of commitment from our players in extending their time with us and a fairly successful Free Agency period in resigning Sterling and signing tfong and Blacker. Along with that, we seen a few trades that helped our organization as well. It's fairly evident that this season we're going to pursue the cup and I feel confident that I have the right guys to do so. I couldn't be more fortunate to have a great group of guys to lead and share a Locker Room with. With that said, it's time to pick our captains and it was but wasn't too difficult for me to make this call. Without further delay... YOUR S49 SEATTLE BEARS CAPTAINNNNNNN!! @sterling JEFFFFF HAMILTON! This was a no brainer for me and I think everyone on the Bears organization would agree with me when I say Sterling is our guy to lead the squad on the ice. Not only does Sterling bring a huge amount of knowledge, experience and skill to the organization, but he's a huge contributor to the Bears locker room and has helped me so much during my transition from the VHLM to the VHL as a General Manager. Sterling showed huge commitment to the Bears by resigning with us and I truly hope we can hoist a cup and Hamilton be the first one to have it in his hands. YOUR FIRST S49 ASSISTANT CAPTAIN FOR THE BEEEEAARS!! @tfong BIGGGGUUUUUUU KYANON Similar to Hamilton, Kyanon is a huge part of our organization and locker room and has shown commitment towards the Bears by joining us through free agency when there was other alternatives. I've had numerous talks with him, especially during the free agency period when I tried to lure him into our bear trap and I know for sure with those talks and league experience that he is a great guy to be a leader for our team. Cheers, Biggy. AND YOUR FINAL S49 ASSISTANT CAPTAIN FOR THE BEAAAARS, @StevenStamkos91 This was a tough decision for me when you have so many deserving candidates. Do I go with youth and choose Podarok and shine light on a huge piece of our future, or Mengsk and continue on with his leadership role? Very tough choice but at the end of the day, this is a very deserving position that should go to Shawn Muller. During talks of our center situation, Muller stepped up and said he could play the role as center and would build himself up to be a decent center for us when we had a significant hole in that position. A sacrifice like that in my eyes is very classy and deserving of recognition and that is a factor into choosing him as one of our on ice leaders. Cheers, Stammer.

Haven't the slightest idea what you're pondering or not understanding. We had great talks during the time we were allowed to speak with Free Agents. Since, we've spoken as well and he's shown superb leadership and experience. Perfect guy for the role. Hope this clears up any confusion.

The wording somewhat leaves that thought out there Well, if you have an issue with it, talk to the commissioner. I give @Draper & @Higgins both permission to gaze through my conversation with tfong if you're that worried about it. I wouldn't want you to lose sleep over it. I spoke with Draper prior to the "free agency discussion period" to ask what time we were allowed (as I'm a new GM) and it wasn't until that time that we spoke regarding an offer or anything of that nature.

Thanks. What's with the condescending tone in all your posts? You seem uptight. I'm not worried about it or losing sleep, just puzzled in regards to the wording. I think this whole GM job has been going very fast, but no need to have the attitude towards others. We were simply pointing out a wording issue.

We were simply pointing out a wording issue. Wasn't any attitude. I just don't like hints at tampering or any other sort of false accusation. In your initial post, you could have mentioned the wording rather than you simply "wondering". I think it was worded fairly simplistic. During free agency, we spoke. That's when you talk to FA's. Everyone knows that. The only other attitude I've given off is towards Victor - and it's rather more joking towards my friendly Forum Police Officer JardyB10 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/30515-s49-seattle-bears-captains/#findComment-341007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
