Brenden Kitchton led the Moose in scoring last season and will be bringing his talents back to Winnipeg for at least one more year.
With the departure of former Manitba captain John Albert to Finland next season, I had Brenden Kitchton as one possible replacement as captain of the Moose. With his signing we shall see if that is the next move for this organization.
