With the Halifax Mooseheads regular season set to open later this week, the team announced veteran defenceman Brady Schultz as the 36th captain in franchise history.

Schultz, a native of Connecticut, is entering his fourth season with Halifax. He becomes the first American-born player to wear the “C” for the Mooseheads.

Joining him on the leadership team are Braeden MacPhee and Owen Phillips, who will serve as full-time alternate captains.

Jack Martin and Liam Kilfoil will split duties as alternates for home and away games.

The regular season kicks off on Friday night in Charlottetown at 7 p.m., the first of five games on the road to open the season for Halifax.
