Very happy to see Trevor back in the building and being honoured alongside the great captains.

Not a Canucks fan but honestly this was really emotional, good luck to you Hughes!

[@sasha1551]

Those Hughes brothers are making a name for themselves in this league! to have 3 brothers in the NHL alone is absolutely insane! Luke and Quinn are already among the top 50 best players in the league and are breaking NHL records. Luke needs to catch up!

The three former captains that led the team to the finals and with how the team is playing this year it is exciting

[@irtwiaos]

I see a pattern here. Every captain since Henrik must have their number end in a 3. No wonder Pettey didn't get the captaincy. :p

petey also expressed not wanting the c like at all
