Canucks to use 4 alternate captains for 2018-19 season
by Cory Wilkins from on (#400YV)
For the first time since 1974, the Vancouver Canucks will begin the season without a captain.
In place of the retired Henrik Sedin, who captained the Canucks since 2010, the team has named a four-player leadership group of Bo Horvat, Brandon Sutter, Chris Tanev, and Alex Edler.
"Our team culture will be built from leadership by committee," Canucks head coach Travis Green said in a statement. "It will be a big part of our process and our identity each and every game."
Of the four, Edler is the longest-serving Canuck, having been with the franchise since 2006.
