“It’s an honour to be named captain to such a prestigious organization—I’m following in the footsteps of a long line of exceptional people,” said Ty Thorpe. “We have an amazing group of guys and a locker room full of leaders. We’re excited to see what we can do and continue our success into the second half.”

Thorpe’s first game as captain will come on January 11th versus the Kamloops Blazers. The two teams have played five times this season, with Thopre recording two goals during the season series.
