Captain (ice hockey)
In ice hockey, the captain is the player designated by a team as the only person authorized to speak with the game officials regarding rule interpretations when the captain is on the ice.
At most levels of play each team must designate one captain and a number of alternate captains( usually two or three) who speak to the officials when the captain is on the bench.
Captains wear a" C" on their sweaters, while alternate captains wear an" A".
Officially captains have no other responsibility or authority, although they may, depending on the league or individual team, have various informal duties, such as participation in pre-game ceremonies or other events outside the game.
As with most team sports that designate captains, the captain is usually a well- respected player and a" de facto" team leader.
