The AHL affiliate of the Tampa Bay Lightning, the Syracuse Crunch, named defenseman Luke Witkowski its new captain today.
This is a familiar role for Witkowski, who was captain of the Western Michigan University Broncos for two years and the Fargo Force of the USHL for one year.
Witkowski said he knows he’s following a good captain in Mike Angelidis and he thinks he taught him well.
Crunch coach Benoit Groulx on picking Luke, “So overall, it was an easy choice. I think he fits the role perfectly.”
