The Deeside Dragons are proud to confirm our on-ice leadership group for the upcoming season. Built on work rate, character, and pride in this badge, they’ll lead the way on the ice and in our community. With your backing in the Den, we’ll turn belief into momentum—one loud night at a time.
🏒 Captain – #61 Jared Dickinson (Forward/Defence)
A true leader both on and off the ice, Jared’s dedication, work ethic, and commitment to the Dragons’ cause have made him the natural choice to wear the “C” this season. Primarily a forward, Jared’s versatility means he can also drop back on defence when needed — a quality that adds depth and stability to the roster.
🏒 Alternate Captain – #55 Ross Kennedy (Forward)
Ross brings speed, skill, and an unrelenting drive to every shift. His offensive instincts and tireless work ethic make him a threat in all situations. Wearing the “A” is a reflection of his leadership on the ice and in the locker room.
🏒 Alternate Captain – #33 MJ Clancy (Forward)
There’s no one more connected to the club than MJ — he gets it. His passion for the Dragons runs deep, and he understands what this team means to its players, fans, and the community. Add that to his energy, creativity, and ability to produce in key moments, and you’ve got a leader who truly embodies the spirit of the Dragons.
🏒 Alternate Captain – #46 Charles Phillips (Deface)
A steady, reliable presence on the blue line, Charles brings calm decision-making, physicality, and experience. To provide leadership cover, he will also wear the “A” when required — ensuring continuity for the group on and off the ice.
Head Coach Mike Clancy said:
“We’re confident this leadership group will set the tone for the season. Jared, Ross, MJ, and Charles embody what it means to be a Dragon—work rate, accountability, and composure—and we know they’ll lead by example. With Charles adding calm, experienced leadership on the blue line and wearing the ‘A’ when required, we’ve got continuity right through the lineup.”
With the “C” and “A’s” now stitched on their jerseys, this leadership group—anchored by Jared, Ross, and MJ, with Charles ready to wear the “A” when required—will look to inspire the Dragons every game. With our fans behind us, we can make this a season to remember.
🔥 Let’s hear it for Jared, Ross, MJ & Charles! 🔥
