New Captain/A's?
Hey guys,

Does anyone know who is getting the C and who is getting A's this year? No, not the grades, but that wonderful patch on their sweater!

Dekeyser, Walters, and witkowski are all co-captains. I'm assuming they'll rotate who wears the C

Can they do that? I know in the NHL the rules actually state only one player may wear the C, and goalies cannot wear the letters

RE: New Captain/A's?
looked it up, it's about the most vague rule i've ever read (this is the NCAA Rulebook)

Captain of Team
SECTION 2. a. One game captain shall be appointed by each team, and shall
be the only player to have the privilege of discussing with the referee
any questions relating to interpretation of rules that may arise during the
progress of a game. The captain may not dispute a judgment decision
of the referee. The captain should wear the letter “C,’’ approximately 3
inches in height and in contrasting color, in a conspicuous position on
the front of the jersey.
If the captain is not available because of injury or an imposed penalty,
another player may be designated to act as captain.


So there's no saying the captain even has to wear a "C", so i'm assuming all 3 can wear them, but only one can be appointed 'game captain'.

nice find. i had no idea about the rule--seems vague enough to allow it. i only knew they were going to have 3 c's because thats what my brother told me.

i think it would have been better to have another underclassmen as an assistant captain because it is for sure that 2 and highly likely the 3rd Captain will be gone after next year.

The casebook is more specific. All three can wear the "C", only one per game can actually use it. from Page HI-3:

A.R. 1: During the pregame warm-up, the officials notice three players wearing a “C” on their uniforms. RULING: The referee should determine from the team’s roster if one captain has been designated. If not, the referee must request the coach to designate one of the three players as the team captain. He also must inform the coach that the other two players will not have captain’s privileges; however, one player may be designated to act as captain if the captain is not available due to injury or imposed penalty.

Note that there can be only one alternate.
