Someone has probably asked you this before (if not that’s cool too!): why can’t goalies become captains?
See it's complicated because they kinda can be? They can be off-ice Captains and or Alternates but aren't allowed to be on-ice due to time constraints/issues.
Captains (and their Alternates) spend their time relaying information from the refs to the coaches and arguing for/against penalties in the downtime between play. With a goaltender it would mean it takes extra time due to the goaltender having to be in their crease before play resumes.

uh, I’d say my parents. uh, my mom was a gopher hockey season ticket holder, when I was younger, so she brought me to all the gopher hockey games, and, uh, her and my dad sacrificed a lot to buy the pads and, uh, let me chase this crazy dream. so, if it wasn’t for them and a lot of other people along the way, I wouldn’t, uh, be a dallas star right now.
