Does anyone know what is the league record for most games as captain?

And where would this place Joel on the league all time list?

Should be in the top ten by the time his career finishes

Hopefully with a flag as a captain too

Superstar. Toughest player I've ever seen play and one of the most underrated as a player...if that's possible.

Gee it’ll take him a few more years to match Saint Nick which is impressive as Scott was playing when he was first made captain.

Superstar. Toughest player I've ever seen play and one of the most underrated as a player...if that's possible.

Rated by our own but unfortunately not by many else.

One of the toughest I’ve seen and a great leader.
