Dear Bo,



We have only met once, but I wanted to congratulate you on being named the new captain of the Vancouver Canucks.



It’s a great honour and you’ve earned it. The team went through a full year without a captain. They’ve had a lot of time to make this decision and there’s a reason they picked you. That says a lot about you as a natural leader.



I’ve always heard good things about you from bumping into Henrik and Daniel Sedin over the years. When I’ve been over in Vancouver and I’ve had an opportunity to watch you play, I can see that you play the game like a team player.



Even from afar, it’s clear that you have the respect of your teammates. And from the fans in Vancouver.



Now I’d like to offer you some advice: I hope you use the “C” as a motivating factor, as something positive.



I hope you don’t let it wear you down. It’s something that can push you,...
