The New York Rangers open up training camp ahead of their centennial season Wednesday with a roster of 61 players, led by newly-named captain J.T. Miller.
The 32-year-old center is the 29th captain in Rangers history. He heads a leadership group of five letter-wearing players, including alternates Adam Fox, Artemi Panarin, Vincent Trocheck, and Mika Zibanejad.
Miller was officially named captain Tuesday.
“Since his arrival last season, J.T. immediately became a leader for our group and exemplifies how we want to conduct ourselves both on and off the ice,” Rangers general manager Chris Drury said in a statement.
