San Diego, California - The Tucson Roadrunners, owned and operated by the Arizona Coyotes, announced today that Hudson Fasching has been named the team's captain.

The Roadrunners open their six-game Gem Show Road Trip Friday in San Diego at 8 p.m. MST.

In his fourth year with the organization, Fasching has appeared in 145 games with the Roadrunners and totaled 40 goals and 47 assists for 87 points.
