CEDAR RAPIDS- The Cedar Rapids RoughRiders would like to announce they have named forwards Marc McLaughlin and Dalton Messina as Co-Captains and forward Liam Walsh as an Alternate Captain for the 2017-2018 season.
McLaughlin, from N. Billerica, MA is in his 2nd season with the RoughRiders. He is committed to play collegiately at Boston College. McLaughlin has played in 64 games with the organization thus far, scoring six goals to go along with 14 assists during that time.
Messina, from Macomb, MI is also in his 2nd season with the RoughRiders. Messina was acquired prior to the beginning of the 2016-2017 regular season from Fargo and has skated in 65 contests with the RoughRiders, scoring 14 goals and notching seven assists.
"Dalton and Marc will be great partners as captains for the 2017-2018 RoughRiders," said RoughRiders Head Coach and General Manager Mark Carlson.
