Lumberjacks select Jake Bullen as team captain


The CIBC Wood Gundy Lumberjacks have named their captains for this season. Jake Bullen will wear the 'C', while Tyler Noseworthy, Andrew Wigg and Michael Crawley will be the assistant captains. Head Coach Terry Rhindress says Bullen is the ideal captain for the team.
"Jake's more of a lead by example guy, you know, comes to practice every day, on time and accountable, and one of the first guys to step up if you need a volunteer to do something. The fans like him, the kids like him, he's just a likeable guy. Every game he gives you the best he's got. He's just one of those leaders that doesn't necessarily have to be the guy that stands up in the dressing room screaming and hollering."
Bullen is expected to begin his captaincy Thursday night when the Lumberjacks host the Yarmouth Mariners at 7pm.
