Hope so. But it’s not like there was a wealth of players to choose from.

With the roster turnover, Ness and Kunz were the only other 2 returning upperclassman.  Everyone else is freshman, sophomore, or transfer. 

...and could be they wanted a defensive player to have representation in the leadership group.

He picked his up mid-season though, if you remember. I'm pretty sure I've never seen this.

Correct.  Ford got an "A" in January.

I guess the way I see it, if an underclassmen was not going to wear an "A", then the options were either a Transfer or Ness/Kunz--two players who struggled for ice time and actually played less games last year than the season before.  You want your captains on the ice.  A Transfer "A" just makes a whole lot of sense to me in this scenario.

Pyke or Pehrson with a letter surprises me less than Albrecht.
Here's hoping Albrecht surprises me even more with it and figures out the offensive side (ala Jim Archibald's last season).
C'mon Carson, shock the < bleep > out of me and lead the team in goals. Let's see if my ticker can handle it. :D 

I had Gaber, LouieJam, and Schmaltz kinda penciled in.

Part of it was shear necessity; per the Herald:

Quote

Berry told the team that with forward Gavin Hain out long term due to a leg injury and defenseman Jake Sanderson heading to the Olympic Games for three weeks, the Fighting Hawks decided to elevate someone to alternate captain to fill in the void.

We were down to Senden and Frisch I believe.

Ford had a way about him, you could tell that he was leader with the way he carried himself. I wish UND could've had him for four seasons.

Actually, it's not all that surprising, Keaton Pehrson wore an "A" last season

Of this speculated list:

  • Bryn Chyzyk (Waterloo GM)
  • Dillon Simpson (UND alum)
  • Matt Smaby (Waterloo HC)
  • Dallas Steward (12 years exp)
  • Jason Ulmer (Volunteer Assistant)

I see nothing on the Waterloo site if that means anything. 

Total guess on my part based on wanting a D coach. Smaby was who they wanted but couldn't get to his number.
