Video- Bo Horvat Receives The 'C' In Vancouver

10/10/2019 at 6:31am EDT

from Ben Kuzma of the Vancouver Province,

Horvat knew in the summer that he was going to be named captain.

“Everybody was trying to keep it a secret and it was the worst-kept secret ever,” laughed Horvat.

You would think that would put the centre at ease when the big night finally arrived. It didn’t. Horvat was not quite himself and the magnitude of the major moment was captured with his father, Tim. shedding a tear at Rogers Arena.

“I’m not going to lie — I was nervous,” admitted Horvat. “You feel that added pressure, but at the same time, I wanted to embrace it and go out there and have a good game. It was a really special night and one I won’t forget. It was pretty surreal. It was actually pretty emotional and obviously really humbling and a dream come true.”
