When a team makes a monumental announcement like naming a new captain, it usually leaks in the press days earlier. Today, the Winnipeg Jets were able to make an announcement to their fan base without the name leaking beforehand. The Jets have been without a captain since stripping Blake Wheeler of his "C" in 2022.
Lowry, 30, is coming off the best statistical season of his career. While he is certainly not the flashiest name on the roster, he embodies everything a captain should be. Lowry never takes a shift off and is always accountable for his actions. He embodies the spirit of Winnipeg and will be a great representation of the city and team going forward.
