Ducks Name Gudas Captain

The Anaheim Ducks have announced that defenseman Radko Gudas will be the ninth captain in franchise history. 

Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek wrote in a statement...

"After taking time to assess our group over the last few seasons, Radko emerged as a natural leader who encompasses all of the qualities of a captain and the respect of his teammates, our staff, and his peers. With a young group of players establishing themselves in the NHL, we felt it was necessary to have a veteran lead our team.

"Radko exemplifies what it means to be a professional, how to carry yourself on and off the ice and in the community, and be a mentor to our young group that will become the next leaders of the team."

Gudas said...

"I am honored to be named captain of the Anaheim Ducks and lead our team into an exciting era. The trust put in me by Pat, our management, coaches, and my teammates is something I take with pride. Leadership is a shared quality amongst our team, and I look forward to representing the Ducks on the ice and also outside of the rink in the community."
