Knights Vice Captain, Matt Kreuzer has also been named Vice Captain of Vic Metro, while the other Vice Captain spot has gone to James Polkinghorne of the Calder Cannons.
Grimes and Kreuzer were both Vic Metro representitives at last years Championships and Grimes was Captain of the VM U/16 2005 team so their previous experience and strong leadership qualities will be a valuable asset to the side.
