NHL History: Best Captain Ever of Each NHL Team, Part I
Other sports have captains, but nowhere is the designation more significant than in the NHL.
Anaheim Ducks: Scott Niedermayer
The franchise originally known as the Mighty Ducks of Anaheim won the Stanley Cup just once, in 2007.
Calgary Flames: Jarome Iginla
As we have all seen from the NHL Network commercials, Lanny McDonald was the captain of the Calgary Flames when they won the Stanley Cup in 1989. Since that was the only year the franchise won the Cup and McDonald hit three major milestones that year—1000 games, 1000 points and 500 goals—picking McDonald seems easy.
Carolina Hurricanes: Rod Brind'Amour
Again, we have a franchise with only one Stanley Cup, although when they started off as the Hartford Whalers, they could not win the Holy Grail of Hockey because they were in the WHL.
Chicago Blackhawks: Jonathan Toews
No, this is not a case of being a prisoner of the moment. Jonathan Toews is really the only choice for the Blackhawks' all-time captain.
Columbus Blue Jackets: Rick Nash
The Columbus Blue Jackets are only in their 11th NHL season. Thus, they have only had five team captains.
Dallas Stars: Mike Modano
The Dallas Stars did not earn their Stanley Cup championship until 1999. I can even argue they only benefited from an easier schedule that allowed them to get home ice throughout the playoffs and take away the opposition's speed on the slowest ice in the league every spring.
