...Vernon Fiddler Named Alternate Captain As Well

So it seems I didn't have the whole picture of the Captain situation earlier. Everyone was so excited about Keith Yandle getting an A that I lost the fact that Vernon Fiddler was also named an Alternate Captain for the Phoenix Coyotes. Shane Doan of course is still the Captain of the team with Ed Jovanovski having one A and Fiddler and Yandle rotating the 2nd A. 

Fiddler was another guy people were looking at getting the job before the actual announcement as he's a guy cut much from the same mold as Captain Shane Doan. He may not be the goal scorer that Doaner is, but what he works hard and leads by example. Going into the corners isn't a problem. Need a critical faceoff won? He'll go get it done, someone pushing around a young guy? Fiddler goes in and knocks the guy in the teeth. He hits and does all the "little things" that coaches love and that TV announcers always talk about like they know what's going on. 

Fiddler wore the A a few times last season when other captains were out for various lengths of time. When Ed Jovanovski missed a few games early in the season and also in the playoffs after Shane Doan was knocked out with his shoulder injury. He's not the flashy type, but the best captains rarely are.
