Nick Foligno Named Captain of Chicago Blackhawks

The veteran forward takes on a pivotal leadership role as the team enters a new era.

Foligno, 36, becomes the 35th captain in Blackhawks history, succeeding Jonathan Toews.
He was acquired from Boston in June 2023 and quickly became a key leader in the locker room.
Foligno's appointment comes as the Blackhawks aim to rebuild after finishing last in the Central Division last season.
General Manager Kyle Davidson praised Foligno's mentorship of young players and his role in shaping the team's identity.
Foligno has a two-year contract with the team and has accumulated 232 goals and 330 assists over 17 NHL seasons.
