ANCHORAGE – Alaska Anchorage head hockey coach Dave Shyiak announced Thursday his four captains for the 2011-12 slate.

Shyiak, who will be entering his seventh year with UAA, has selected seniors Brad Gorham and Jade Portwood and juniors Chris Crowell and Scott Warner to assume the Seawolves’ leadership positions come September.

“I think this leadership group should provide us the same qualities and direction we had with our program this year,” said Shyiak, “All four have performed well in the classroom and have gained respect in the locker room by their peers."

UAA begins the season Sept. 30 with an exhibition game against Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in Wasilla, then open the regular season against Clarkson and St. Cloud State in the annual Kendall Hockey Classic, Oct. 7-8 at Sullivan Arena.
