I don’t know. To be honest, I don’t care much for letters. I think people put too much stock into “leadership” from a single entity anyway.

I do agree with you that nobody really knows what kind of leaders anybody is, which is why I’ll never understand why leadership is questioned so much. Everyone on the ice has their own role and job to do, do that right and your team probably wins. Not sure why “leadership” always seems to fall on the captain’s shoulders.
