FOX NAMED ALTERNATE CAPTAIN FOR USA

Add another accomplishment to Adam Fox's already-impressive resume.
The Flames prospect will act as an alternate captain for the USA at the 2018 IIHF World Junior Championship in Buffalo, N.Y.
The defending gold medal champions also named Joey Anderson their captain and Kieffer Bellows and Ryan Lindgren as alternate captains.
"We're excited about our veteran leadership group here in Buffalo," head coach Bob Motzko told USA Hockey's website. "Joey, Kieffer, Ryan and Adam have the respect of everybody in the room and we have complete confidence that they can lead this group of players to a gold medal here on home ice."

In last year's World Junior Championship, Fox put up four points in seven games. In their 5-4 shootout win over Canada in the gold medal game, Fox chipped in with three assists, including setting up the American's fourth goal late in the third period that sent the game into extra time.
Prior to joining the USA ahead of this year's tournament, he posted nine points in 10 skates with Harvard. Last year, in his freshman season with the Crimson, he registered 40 points in 35 games.
The Flames drafted Fox in the third round of the 2016 NHL Draft.
