Mavericks Announce 2022-23 Team Captains

INDEPENDENCE, MO. – In an honor voted on by teammates, coaches and hockey operations staff, the Mavericks today announced forward Nick Pastujov as the team’s captain for the 2022-23 season. Pastujov, 24, is in his third season with the Mavericks and is currently tied for the team lead with six points (three goals, three assists) on the young season.

“This is a well-deserved honor for Nick,” said Mavericks GM/Head Coach, Tad O’Had. “It goes to show how highly he is thought of and respected in the locker room. He is not only a great leader on the ice, but off the ice as well. This is a distinction we do not take lightly and we are very excited for ‘Pasta.’”

Additionally, the Mavericks announced three players will wear the “A” on their sweaters as alternate captains this season: Josh Lammon, Tommy Muck and Loren Ulett.

Lammon, 27, is in his first year in Kansas City and has made a quick impact in his time with the Mavericks. The Jackson, Mich., native and Mercyhurst University alum has notched two assists in his four games as a Maverick.

Muck is returning for his third season with the Mavericks and has become a staple on the Kansas City back line. He graduated summa cum laude from Bemidji State University, where he was a team captain his senior season.

Ulett, 28, has played in 196 games with the Mavericks, ranking him sixth all-time in franchise history. An Ontario, Canada, native, Ulett is in the midst of his fifth season with Kansas City.
