Grand Rapids Griffins Have A New Captain
The Grand Rapids Griffins will begin their season this Friday and will do it with a brand new team captain.
According to WOOD, longtime Griffins defenseman Brian Lashoff has been named the 17th team captain in the teams franchise history.
Lashoff has come a long way since his youth days of playing hockey for the New York Rangers minor hockey team. He has been an alternate captain for the Griffins for six seasons but the last time he was an official captain since being a junior hockey player for the Ontario Hockey League's Kingston Frontenacs.
