CHICAGO — Nick Foligno took on a leadership role for the Chicago Blackhawks before he played his first game for the team.Foligno became the 35th captain in franchise history on Wednesday. The move was announced by the organization on the eve of its first official practice of training camp.
The Blackhawks played without a captain last season after the franchise decided to move on from Jonathan Toews, a three-time Stanley Cup winner. Toews had been the captain since 2008. “Nick’s commanding presence in the locker room has been instrumental in helping the team find its identity," general manager Kyle Davidson said in the release announcing the move."He has served as a mentor to many of our young players both on and off the ice while also heading up the leadership group comprised of our veteran players, and we are beyond confident that he will flourish in the role of captain as we usher in a new era of Blackhawks hockey.
