“I can’t think of five better people to look up to in terms of just guys that are going to keep it real with each other, hold people to standards, communicate with me, making sure I don’t need to know everything that’s going on in the locker room,” head coach Mike LaFleur said Monday. “I just need to know the stuff that’s pertinent. But just because it’s just those five, doesn’t mean that there aren’t other guys.

“There were quite a few guys that I won’t mention that were right up there in the running for it and those guys are still going to have a voice, too.”

This marks the seventh straight captaincy for Baker.

It’s No. 2 for both Froholdt and Wilson.

As for Brissett and Kreiter, this is their first time donning the “C” patch for the franchise.
