With the Notre Dame hockey team’s season about to get underway, the time had come for [autotag]Jeff Jackson[/autotag] to name his captains. Jackson, who will retire after this season, has unveiled the names of four players who have received captaincy honors. All four captains are forwards.
[autotag]Ian Murphy[/autotag], who was Princeton’s captain last season, his fourth and final year with the program, is a captain once again. It speaks volumes that he already has made that big of an impact on the program.
[autotag]Grant Silianoff[/autotag] is in his fifth season with the Irish. An injury cut last year short for him, so he obviously is hoping this year will have a happier ending.
[autotag]Tyler Carpenter[/autotag] is coming off a 33-game campaign. Although he scored only five goals, his .143 shooting percentage was third on the team.
[autotag]Justin Jacnicke[/autotag] played in all 36 games last season. Twelve of his 16 points came from assists.
