The new captain of your New York Islanders is...

In a surprising move, new head coach Ken Plotzke has just made his decision on who he has named team captain. "Its my pleasure to introduce to you your new team captain, Kyle Okposo. He is a young player who will be here for years to come. He is great on and off the ice and has shown the neccesary leadership skills it takes to be a team captain."

"Its a great honor to be named team captain of the New York Islanders. I never thought I would be a team captain, at least not this early on in my career. Coach told me he asked the team who they would choose and he said they nominated me. I just want to thank all my teammates for the vote of confidence. I will not let this team and coach Plotzke down." - Kyle Okposo on being named team captain of the Islanders.
