O Captain! My Captain!

Great advice here on what it takes to be a good team captain! We see it all the time in hockey where the player who puts up the most points -  or *gasp* the coach's kid - gets to wear the "C".

Now don't get me wrong - sometimes it's deserved. But sometimes it's not, and if that's the case it can be bad for the whole team.

To most (not all, but most) of the kids I've coached or been around, having a letter on their jersey is a thrill. So players, take note - start to show these qualities and you might just get that "C" or "A". No matter what, if you do these things in hockey and in life, you'll be a great leader!

My favorites:

1. Always put the team in front of yourself

4. Lead by example and be a good role model (responsibility, integrity, and willingness)

6. No matter what, stay positive. 

10. Be willing to take the blame
