The Blackhawks have announced that Nick Foligno is the new Captain. Foligno is the 35th Captain in Chicago Blackhawks history.
Nick Foligno replaces longtime Captain Jonathan Toews, the last Captain of the Chicago Blackhawks before his contract expired with Chicago. He hasn’t played in the NHL since.
This will be Nick Foligno‘s second time serving as Captain in the NHL. He served as Captain with the Columbus Blue Jackets from 2015 to 2021 before being traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Nick Foligno on being named Captain
Nick Foligno is honored to be named Captain once again; here’s what he had to say about it.
The fact that (chairman and CEO) Danny (Wirtz), Kyle, (coach) Luke (Richardson) and my teammates have all put their faith in me to lead this amazing group is extremely humbling, and I thank them all for the opportunity,” Foligno said. “I am beyond honored to serve as captain for this storied franchise and its incredible fans, especially during such a pivotal time toward the team’s future.”
Nick Foligno signed a two-year, 9 million-dollar deal with Chicago, which is 4.5 Million AAV and set to expire after the 2025-26 season.
Seth Jones and Connor Murphy will remain assistant captains for the Blackhawks for the upcoming 2024-2025 season.
