It was only a week ago that the 17-year-old former Assistant Captain, Duncan Siemens, expressed what a great honour it was to receive the ‘A’, especially being one of the younger players on the team. The still honoured Siemens feels that he will have time in the future to take on a leadership role; however this could be recently returned teammate Stefan Elliott’s last year. Siemens addressed the team this week to resign from his position and offer it to Elliott upon his return from the Colorado Avalanche training camp. Duncan says ‘With Stef’s [Elliott] experience and everything he does for us on and off the ice, he really deserves this.’
