Jacob Trouba, Class of 2012, will be wearing the "C" on his sweater next season for the New York Rangers. ROCHESTER HILLS, MI — A Rochester Adams High School native was named captain of an NHL team Tuesday. Jacob Trouba, 28, will be wearing the "C" on his sweater next season for the New York Rangers, as he was named the 28th captain in franchise history.
It was certainly an interesting year for New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba. In 2021-22, Trouba fell one point shy of the 40-point milestone — despite scoring just four points on the power-play — and punished the opposition with his physical play in both the regular season and playoffs. Going by the eye test and the box car stats, he was a little closer to the player the Rangers made a significant trade to acquire.
Yet after almost 50 games this past season and close to 100 games played for the Blueshirts overall, the young winger hasn’t figured it out. But upon breaking it down, we may realize this isn’t entirely his fault. Stats: 49 GP, 3 G, 4 A, 69 SOG, 10:18 TOI/GP, 14 BLK, 98 HIT Gauthier was drafted with the anticipation that he would develop into a strong scoring winger, but with less than 10 points in almost 50 games, questions begin to arise.
