As the Edmonton Oilers prepare to embark upon a new season, the inevitable debates have again ensued, including: Who should be the Oilers Captain?
It is an awkward argument from the word “go”, because the club already has one, 36 year old Andrew Ference. And it’s also, at least for me, difficult to not let sentiment get in the way when you see true pro’s like Ference near the end of their careers, especially one who has conducted himself like Ference has, on and off the ice. I just think those guys deserve a little respect.
