Yale held its vote tonight, and the verdict is in: Jesse Root is the 119th captain in program history. And the first for a defending national champion. Root, a Pittsburgh native, was one of the keys to Yale's title run in his home city, scoring both game-winning goals in the NCAA West Regional to beat Minnesota and North Dakota. He had 12 goals, 11 assists and 23 points for the season.

Quinnipiac announced yesterday that Cory Hibbeler was voted captain for next year, with twins Kellen and Connor Jones as the assistants. Hibbeler had 11 points in 36 games this winter, a hard-worker and a clear leader.
