The Canadian Press
New Jersey Devils captain Jamie Langenbrunner will wear the 'C' for Team USA at the 2010 Olympic Games, according to the New Jersey-based Record.
The official announcement is set for Monday afternoon, and will also see teammate Zach Parise named one of the team's alternate captains, the report says.
Langenbrunner is one of only three players on the young American team with Olympic experience, along with New York Rangers captain Chris Drury and Detroit's Brian Rafalski.
Drury is also expected to be named an alternate captain.
Parise is 25 years old and has no previous Olympic experience, but the Devils' alternate was a member of the 2004 gold medal-winning American World Junior team.
Langenbrunner is a two-time Stanley Cup winner. He played in his first Olympic Games in 1998 in Nagano at age 22.
The American team was named Jan. 1.
