Stall to captain Canada at Beijing 2022
Eric Staal is wearing the "C" again.
The former Carolina Hurricanes captain was named Canada's men's Olympic team captain on Tuesday. David Desharnais and Maxim Noreau were named alternates for Team Canada.
“The opportunity to represent Canada at the Olympics is very special, and being named captain is an honour and something I take a lot of pride in,” Staal said. “David and Maxim are great leaders and players, and they are deserving of this recognition. Our entire team is excited for the opportunity to be a part of Team Canada, and we look forward to competing for a gold medal in Beijing.”
