American-born Captains making noise in NHL playoffs

Posted on: May 17th, 2012 by Anthony No Comments
Dustin Brown, USA

American-born Captains, Ryan Callahan, Zach Parise, and Dustin Brown(pictured above) are all looking to become the second ever American-born Captains to lead their teams to Stanley Cup Championships.

As an American-born hockey fan I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the American-born stars of the National Hockey League. I grew up idolizing the likes of Chris Chelios, Mike Modano, Brian Leetch and many others.

I’ll never forget that February afternoon two years ago in Vancouver during the Gold Medal Game of the 2010 Winter Olympics. I’ll never forget the tremendous excitement I felt when Zach Parise scored with 24.4 seconds left in regulation to tie Team Canada at two, and I’ll never forget the extreme heartbreak—that still stings today—that overtook my body when Sidney Crosby snuck one past Ryan Miller, killing my hopes of seeing my home country take home a Gold medal in the sport that I love so much.
