As expected the Silvertips released their captains list this afternoon with 19-year-old forward Dawson Leedahl succeeding fellow Saskatoon native Kole Bauml.
Leedahl won Everett’s Unsung Hero award last year. Suffice to say he’s no longer unsung.
The third member of last year’s Saskatoon Platoon, Carson Stadnyk, was named an assistant captain, as were fellow overagers Remi Laurencelle and Cole MacDonald.
Laurencelle’s journey to this point was anything but smooth, but he has clearly earned the respect and admiration of his teammates.
A couple of final things to pass along today include this WHL Western Conference preview from Yahoo and the full release from the Silvertips announcing their captains. The Silvertips preview section was in today’s paper, and we have this feature on Carter Hart, the preseason prospectus, a story on the new scoreboard, Silvertips bios and WHL team capsules.
It all starts for real tomorrow night as the Tips are in Prince George for the season opener at 7.
