Senior Captains Alex Kelly, Synclair Goyer, Alex Senesi and John O'Shea spent a better part of their day giving back to the teams adopted player Richard Klingsensmith. The team made the choice to invite Richard as their adopted player in 2019.

All four senior captains attended the Winter Classic in order to support Richards team. Richard routinely attends every mountain hawks practice and game that he is able to make.
