TEMPE, Ariz. – Sun Devil Hockey head coach Greg Powers announced the captains for the 2020-21 season Friday morning during his 'Coffee with Coach' session via Zoom.
Senior defenseman Jacob Wilson and junior defenseman Josh Maniscalco will become the fourth and fifth Sun Devils to don the 'C', while senior forwards Johnny Walker and Dominic Garcia will serve as alternate captains.
"This is a special group of leaders who have seasoned themselves for the opportunity to lead what we believe will be our best team yet," said Powers. "This group of four young men will do a tremendous job and continue to embody what 'Be the Tradition' means."
Garcia has worn the 'A' for the past two seasons, while Wilson was named an alternate for the 2019-20 season.
Walker wore an 'A' for six games during the 2019-20 season while Wilson was out due to injury.
While this will be the first season Maniscalco dons a letter, he served as the team captain for the Dubuque Fighting Saints (USHL) in 2017-18.
The four will lead one of the program's largest veteran groups to date, along with the country's second-ranked incoming freshmen class, according to neutralzone.net.
