Who gets the "C"?

[GreenWing]

Alright now that we've had a few days to blow off some steam, let's turn our focus back to #8? Who's going to be the next Peter Armbrust?

[cberkas]

I could see it being Simpson, i'm going for Grimaldi.

[yzerman19]

So hard to tell what some of the boys are like in practice and in the locker room.

I'm betting on Simpson as captain with Pattyn and Mark Mac the As.

Assuming Forbert is gone

[UND99]

My money is on the General to be a two-time captain.

Mark mac? Really? He should have to hose off the rinks after practice all summer for how he played down the stretch.

[Oxbow6]

This...^^^^^^

And this...^^^^^^

[UNDBIZ]

If Forbort sticks around I say he gets the C. If Forbort signs then stick it on the General for 2 years.

[MavHockey14]

Forbort if he's here, but since he won't be, I voted Simmer.

[yzerman19]

sarcasm on Easy Mac fellas...sarcasm...

[Snake]

My vote is for Simpson. The kid was consistent, scored some big goals, and didn't take a lot of penalties, let alone "dumb" ones. He leads by example - exactly the qualities you should have in a captain IMO.

[fargosioux]

I vote Simpson too.

[ringneck28]

I really like SImpson as captain. This kid is truly turning into a leader. 5 days after game in grand rapids, he eases our concerns by posting on twitter he is coming back. He is from good hockey blood and knows what he has at UND. He is a great choice for the C.

[sioux rube]

Simpson.

[Old Time Hockey]

Simpson is the only real option! That list scares me in the lack of offensive talent coming back. There's Rocco and maybe Mark MacMillan. Drake could be good as well but this team will really struggle to put the puck in the net next year! It will be a battle to get home ice for the playoffs next year.

[Goon]

If Forbort sticks around I say he gets the C. If Forbort signs then stick it on the General for 2 years.

i Don't see Forbs back next season... Just a hunch.

[KSSioux]

Pattyn deserves the "C" with Simpson a close second choice, but will definitely be an "A". I would say the scond "A" is up in the air and I would not be surprised if St. Clair is not in the running. I think he will be an everyday player and may be moved up to a second line role. Not easy to sit out a whole year and try to get your legs. That commitment is a real positive and I am sure is noticed in the locker room.

I'd go with

2013 - Simpson

2014 - Pattyn

2015 - St Clair

Not saying St Clair should or shouldn't get a letter next year but who were sophmores to get letters? I know Toews had an "A" and didn't Z Par too? That has got to be pretty elite company.

[patatoe]

I looked back a little bit. Zach Parise did not have letter.

Looking back to about 1980, I only see about four people who may have had letters as sophmores.

Toews

Ian Kidd - the list of captains I am looking him having letters both years he was here but it looks funny so I wouldn't be surprised if that is wrong.

Marc Chorney

Hak - Not sure if he really counts though, he was only here for two and a half years. What was the deal with his eligibility?

[GreenWing]

I believe Hak took some classes at a community college while he was playing in juniors. It cost him a semester of eligibility, I thought. But it is possible he attended for 3 semesters while playing juniors giving him only 2 and a half of eligibility at UND

I know it doesn't work that way now...you can definitely take classes while playing junior

[Longfellow_Deeds]

Not sold on Pattyn.

[SiouxScore]

I voted for Simpson in the poll and now with the news of Forbort signing I would probably go with:

C- Simpson

A- Rodwell

A- Pattyn

[Wilbur]

Why wasn't LaDue an option? He's older than Simpson?

[The Sicatoka]

Simpson with the C.

Pattyn and Grimaldi will have an A.

If they run with a third A ... I'm not sure who.
