At 19 years, 286 days, Landeskog became the youngest player to be named captain in NHL history. He is 11 days younger than Sidney Crosby was when he was awarded the ‘C’ by the Pittsburgh Penguins on May 31, 2007.
“I had no clue. I didn’t have any idea what [the meeting] was about,” Landeskog said after Hejduk handed him a No. 92 jersey with a ‘C’ stitched on the front during a brief ceremony Tuesday afternoon inside the Avalanche locker room. “I was a little bit shocked at first. I didn’t expect this at all, especially this early in my career. But I feel like I’m ready for it and this organization feels like I’m ready for it.”
