Warriors veteran Steve Gillen, here in action against Ryan White and the Calgary Hitmen, has been named the team’s captain for 2006-07.
The list of captains of the Moose Jaw Warriors features a wide variance of different kinds of leaders.
There’s the outspoken, brash tough talk of Sean O’Connor, the loud, rah-rah lead-by-example confidence of Troy Brouwer, and the steadying influence and presence of Harlan Anderson.
With the captain’s ‘C’ sewn on for good this season, the 20-year-old Steven Gillen can add his name to the list of captains, but time will tell what kind of leader he will be.
“It’s definitely a great honour,” said Gillen. “I’m still getting adjusted to it, trying to do the best I can.”
The Warriors faithful would be happy to see Gillen duplicate the feats of Brouwer, who led the team to the WHL finals last season as an overage.
“Troy taught me a lot,” Gillen said. “Troy and I were really close and lots of his qualities I hope rubbed off on me.”
