Wikipedia
Vice-captain, alternate captain ( ice hockey) or vice-skip ( curling) may refer to a role in a number of sports immediately below the role of captain. The vice-captain may have a number of different roles, including substituting as captain when the regular captain is injured or unavailable, or becoming the new captain if the original captain can't actually be the captain anymore. A vice-captain is different from a co-captain, in which there are multiple people (usually at least two) who equally share the responsibilities of being the captain. For more information on the role in particular sports, see:
- Captain (association football)
- Captain (Australian rules football)
- Captain (cricket)
- Captain (ice hockey)
- Vice (curling)
