The Portage Terriers welcome their new captain, Ty Barnstable. Barnstable expresses he's honoured to take on the role and looks forward to leading the team into the 2018-2019 season.

He adds he aims to lead by doing."It doesn't change what I do or how things are" says Barnstable. "I just have to show the guys the right way to do things around here. I'm not very vocal, but I'm comfortable showing them how to do things, as I've been kind of doing that my whole life"

Barnstable noted he keeps in contact with last season's captain, Chase Brakel. He looks to learn from Brakel as he takes on his new role as team captain. 

The Portage Terriers' season kicks off this Friday in Winnipeg where the team will be taking on the Blues. Game time is at 7:30 PM
