You can’t have two captains on a hockey team. You have one captain, or you have no captain at all, or at least that’s been the case for a century.
The Carolina Hurricanes will instead have co-captains, either of whom could have been the captain last year, which means they will essentially go a second straight season with no captain at all.
Jordan Staal will be the “home” captain and Justin Faulk the “road” captain, at least that’s the geography to start. Both were part of the captainless leadership group last year, which means nothing has really changed but the letter on their jersey.
