Canucks announce new assistant captains
October 7th, 2017 -
Dan Bylsma unveiled two new assistant captains in a press conference this morning. Chris Tanev and Bo Horvat will wear the A this year. Veterans Dan Hamhuis and Daniel Sedin will still be very involved in leadership but are stepping back so some of the younger core can step up to play more of a leadership role. Tanev and Horvat both said they look forward to being mentored in the role by captain Henrik and by the many veterans on the team who have held leadership positions on this team or others.
