Newfoundland Growlers News Release
ST. JOHN'S, NL - The Newfoundland Growlers are proud to announce Todd Skirving has been named team captain for the 2023-24 season.
Skirving, 31, has suited up for the club for all five seasons, including the 2018-19 Kelly Cup championship squad. A fan favourite, Skirving has done it all during his tenure with the Growlers. He ranks in the top five in Growlers franchise history in points (121), goals (61), assists (60) and games played (202).
