Team USA Hockey: What Do the 'A's on Jerseys Mean?

Question
Can you tell me what the "A" on front of some of the Team USA hockey jersies are for??

Thanks,
Don

Answer
Good morning Don,

My apologies on the slow response, I was out of town for Regional tournament.

The A's on the jersey are to show who the Assistant Captains are. There is someone who has a C on their jersey and they are the captain.

Let me know if anything else I can help you with.

Thank you,

Guy
