The 4 Nations Face-Off will be held from Feb. 12-20, featuring stars like Sidney Crosby, Connor McDavid, Mitch Marner and Nathan MacKinnon playing for Team Canada. In an interview with The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun on Tuesday, the team's coach, Jon Cooper, talked about the team’s captaincy decision.
“It’s like picking the team — you’re not throwing out the top 20 Canadian scorers and saying they’re on the team,” Cooper said. “The team is oozing with leadership. There’s (NHL) captains and assistants all over this team.
“I think a little bit of thought has to go into it. There has to be communication with management, coaches and some players. “But we’ll announce that in due time.”
