It just seems morally wrong to take away the "C" from someone when they haven't done anything to warrant it being stripped. After all, she was an all WCHA Team selection. I also believe the person whose leadership abilities that should be in question is the coach. His players need to trust him. How can you expect the captain to be a great leader and loyal, when the coach cant be the same to his captain. I don't blame the twins...they are great players. But dont penalize your own captain. I'm sure the twins could have waited one year to get the "C" and let Lewis finish her senior year as captain. That is what coach should have done.

It started out as 4 players getting "C"s...the twins, Lewis, and the Goalie. As time went on, for whatever reason, coach decided to take away the "C" from Lewis. I'm not sure which twin is going to get it, but that is how it went down. That is why Lewis left the team.

It's a very sad day for UND athletics when the "C" is taken away from your SENIOR defenseman just because there are 2 "superstars" joining the team. I have been excited for a long time to see the Lamoureux girls come play for the Sioux, but now it's hard to look forward to watching the team play when a coaching staff turns their back on one of their own players who have given them 3 years of hard work and dedication. I realize the twins have silver medals, and a National Championship on their resume, but they have yet to play even one shift for UND. I guess I'm from the old school where you have to EARN that "C". Shame on the coaching staff. I don't blame her for quitting. I couldn't play for someone like that, either.
