Adam Lowry, who has been a Jet since 2011 when he was drafted 67th overall, is the new captain of the NHL team — its third since relocating to Winnipeg from Atlanta in 2011.
Andrew Ladd served as captain from 2011 until 2016, when Wheeler took over.
"When I found out, I was pretty excited, almost a little speechless. It's something growing up you kind of can dream about and something that seems almost unattainable," Lowry said in a news release on the team's website.
"Getting to be a captain of a Canadian NHL team is pretty special and something I'm really looking forward to."
