6: The Spiro Goulakos Story

Goulakos Given The Captaincy

On April 8,2013, Colgate men's hockey named their captains for the upcoming 2013-14 season and gave out awards for outstanding performances this past season. Wouldn't you know it, mister Spiro Goulakos was named Colgate captain for the 2013-14 season along with winning multiple team awards despite missing ten games due to his prior diagnosis back in January. Spiro Goulakos was considered most deserving of the captaincy because of his perseverance and teamwork throughout the first two seasons of his maroon and white journey and it should continue into Spiro's junior season should he decide to continue his college hockey career.

Spiro enters the second half of his Colgate career as part of Colgate's leadership core and it was honestly anticipated that Spiro's perseverance would someday pay off. Spiro is a player that everyone should behold for his fight through adversity day in and day out on and off the ice. The French Canadian will look to build on his legend status here in Hamilton as his career continues in a few weeks time as he becomes the Hamiltonian captain for the upcoming season.

So, Spiro Goulakos is now Colgate's captain and now, he will look to lead Colgate to greatness in his tenure as Colgate captain.
