Jordan Davis of Devlin has been named captain of the Topeka Roadrunners of the North American Hockey League.

An injury to the team's usual captain forced the change as the team is in the middle of the first round of the playoffs.

Davis joined the team after two seasons with the Fort William North Stars in the SIJHL.
