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.
