"If you're the captain, where's your armband?"

Danny McCree

FIH Rules of Hockey
Rule 3.3: Captains must wear a distinctive arm-band or similar distinguishing article on an upper arm or shoulder or over the upper part of a sock.

Night before the first game of the season,  McCree looks up the league rules after realising he doesn't own a captains armband. Due to a sudden inability to read, he thinks he doesn't need one and continues as normal without one. Everything is fine for a few weeks.
