The Guelph Storm Hockey Club announced today that CJ Garcia will captain the 2015-16 squad. The fourth-year defenceman will be supported by two Assistant Captains, Marc Stevens and Garrett McFadden.

All three will sport their letters starting Friday night against the Oshawa Generals at the Sleeman Centre.

Garcia was traded to the Storm in January and finished the season second on the team in defensive scoring with 19 points. The 19 year old returned earlier this week from a stint at the Anaheim Ducks training camp.

Drafted in the 5th round of the 2011 OHL Priority Selection, Stevens enters his fourth season with the Storm. He was a member of the 2014 OHL Champion team and played all 68 games in a Storm uniform last season.

McFadden was a first round pick of the Storm in 2013. He has played on an international level at the World U-17 Hockey Challenge in 2013-14 and was a part of the 2014 OHL Championship team.

Friday night marks first game of the Storm’s 25th anniversary season. The Oshawa Generals are in town for the Home Opener, game time is 7:30pm. Tickets are still available and can be purchased online here or by visiting or calling the Guelph Storm Box Office at 519-837-9690.
