J.T. Miller was named captain of the New York Rangers on Tuesday.
The 32-year-old forward is the 29th player to hold the position in team history. He replaces Jacob Trouba, a defenseman who was traded to the Anaheim Ducks on Dec. 6.
\"We\'re pleased to announce J.T. Miller as the new captain of the New York Rangers,\" general manager Chris Drury said. \"Since his arrival last season, J.T. immediately became a leader for our group and exemplifies how we want to conduct ourselves both on and off the ice.
\"Congratulations to J.T. and his entire family on an incredibly meaningful achievement and we\'re confident he will continue to represent our organization with class, commitment, and integrity.\"
