Miske embracing Raider captaincy
Curtis Miske said it was “a great blessing” to be named the 41st captain in the history of the Prince Albert Raiders.
The 20-year-old forward from Beaumont, Alta. was acquired by the Raiders from the Spokane Chiefs on Jan. 2, 2017. With 29 points in 33 games in Prince Albert, Miske earned the respect of the coaching staff in his abbreviated stay last season, and has been entrusted with the captaincy this year.
“It was a bit of a shock at first but I’m very humbled,” Miske said. “It’s a great blessing to be named the captain especially following after some of the big names that have been the captain here previously, so I’m really excited to get that going.”
