Defensive prospect Casey Fitzgerald (2016, third round) shares what his week has been like during Sabres development camp presented by BlueCross BlueShield of Western New York with Sabres.com.
Hands down, the biggest honor of my career was being selected as captain at Boston College last season. I was one of two captains for our team along with Chris Brown, who's also here at development camp with the Sabres.
Our team had no senior class, so Chris and I were named captains as juniors. I was honored because it's not just coaches who select the captain, it's not just the staff. It's the players. Whoever the players feel is the captain, that's who's going to be captain. That also means it's a major responsibility.
In his own words: Fitzgerald on the importance of development camp
