*The Blues' 2026-27 leadership group*

The Riverview U13 AA Blues have named their leadership group for the 2026-27 season. Defenceman Sheamus Gillespie will wear the C as captain, and forwards Caeden Colpitts and Carson Chappell will wear the A as alternate captains.

## Sheamus Gillespie, captain

Gillespie wears #18 on the Blues' blue line. He set up Lukas Pineau's first goal in the league opener against Lewisville on October 19, a four-on-four goal that cut a 2–0 deficit to 2–1 and started the comeback to a [2–2 tie](https://www.riverviewblues.ca/news/blues-tie-lewisville-in-league-opener).

## Caeden Colpitts, alternate captain

Colpitts, a forward who wears #4, scored in both of the Blues' pre-season games: one of the three goals in the [3–2 win in Cap-Pelé](https://www.riverviewblues.ca/news/blues-open-preseason-in-cap-pele) on October 10, and the last goal of the [5–2 win over Moncton](https://www.riverviewblues.ca/news/blues-close-preseason-with-win-over-moncton) on October 15, with 2:03 to play. Chappell set it up, so the two alternates have already combined on a goal this season.

Chappell, a forward who wears #12, had a hand in all five goals against Moncton, with two goals and three assists. On Saturday he scored the tying goal with 10:13 left in the third period of a [1–1 game against the Kent Centre Bears](https://www.riverviewblues.ca/news/blues-tie-kent-centre-bears).
