No surprise, here. In fact, I called this one a few weeks ago.

I kinda assumed Hemsky would keep his "A."

1) He's the team's best player.
2) "Taking it away" from him now would be a bit of a slap in the face.

I can completely understand Whitney getting an A, he seems to have that leadership quality although it's a small sample size but i just don't see Hemsky as an "A" guy, i understand that he has been the leading scorer for years albeit on weak offensive teams.
Don't get me wrong, he's a good player but i can't stand his on ice demeanor, he plays way too passive most of the time and is a weak communicator as well but i think the whole Captain-Alternate Captain is overrated anyway, i suppose that these two were the best choices available.

I disagree he's easily the best player on this team & his attitude is just beyond awesome

Hemsky will lead the way on the ice. He's still our best player at least for the next 2 years.

Also, the team slogan as chosen by the coach is "Win From Within"
Don't like the A's - but they were player voted...???

Beats that home and away nonsense last year, anyways...
