Veteran center Teegan Moore has been chosen the new captain of the Western Hockey League’s defending Eastern Conference Champion Brandon Wheat Kings.
The 19-year old Thompson, Manitoba product becomes the 48th player in franchise history to wear the “C”. Chosen by the Wheat Kings in the fifth round (85th overall) of the 2001 WHL bantam draft, Moore succeeds Tim Konsorada who held the position for the past two seasons.
In 195 career WHL games, the former AAA NorMan North Star midget has sixteen goals, 45 points and has accumulated 256 minutes in penalties.
Wheat Kings’ coach and general manager Kelly McCrimmon also announced the appointment of defenceman Riley Day and center Derek LeBlanc as the club’s full time alternate captains. Day is entering his fourth WHL season and second as a member of the Wheat Kings while the 19-year old LeBlanc has played the past two years in Brandon.
Meanwhile left-winger Mark Derlago and right-winger Ryan Reaves will share the third “A” for the 2005-06 campaign. A former Manitoba AAA Midget League scoring champion, Derlago will wear the letter at home while Reaves, a fifth round draft choice of the National Hockey League’s St. Louis Blues, will wear it on the road.
