On Friday the Hershey Bears announced their new leadship group for the upcoming 2018-2019 season. The team did not select a Captain, choosing to go with six alternate Captains for the season.

Riley Barber, Liam O’Brien and Aaron Ness will all serve as alternate captains at home this season. Tyler Lewington, Mike Sgarbossa and Colby Williams will wear the “A” on the road.
