The Newfoundland Growlers have announced their on-ice leadership group for the 2021-22 ECHL season.
James Melindy of the Goulds returns as captain, while Zach O’Brien and Marcus Power—both of St. John’s, and Todd Skirving of Thunder Bay, Ontario will serve as alternate captains.
Meanwhile, the Manitoba Moose have assigned Todd Burgess to the Growlers. The 25-year-old is a 4th round pick and 103rd overall to the Ottawa Senators in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft.
The Growlers’ season begins on the road with a match-up against the Trois-Rivières Lions Thursday night at the Colisée Vidéotron.
