"A" stands for Alternate captain. Theoretically, only the captains or alternates should talk to the referee, and they are usually responsible for finding out why a call was made, and generally being the "point person" between the refs/ linesman and the team

The A on the front of the jersey indicates the player is an Alternate or Assistant Captain of the team and is one of the few players who are allowed by rule to discuss a call with a referee. Note I said discuss, not argue. A player can ask for an explanation of how an official interpreted the rule application on a particular play. They can also make a request for a stick measurement.

A stands for Alternate Captain. The Captain of the team is technically the only person on the team (besides the coach) that can talk to the refs. When the Captain is unavailable to speak to the refs, the Alternate captain is the only other person that can. There are usually two Alternate captains on each team.

The 'A' on hockey jerseys stands for 'Alternate Captain.' Alternate Captains are sometimes referred to erroneously as "assistant captains". They wear the letter 'A' on their jerseys in the same manner that team captains wear the 'C'. In the NHL, teams may appoint two alternate captains if they also have appointed a captain, or they may choose to appoint three alternate captains and no captain.[1] Teams need not appoint the same players as alternate captains from game to game, though they generally do. International rules stipulate that "each team shall appoint a Captain and no more than two Alternate Captains."When the captain is not on the ice, any alternate captain on the ice may fulfill the captain's official role as liaison to the referees. Alternate captains perform many of the same leadership and team building roles as the captain.

C" on the sweater stands for team captain, and "A" stands for Alternate captain. Theoretically, only the captains or alternates should talk to the referee, and they are usually responsible for finding out why a call was made, and generally being the "point person" between the refs/ linesman and the team.

The 'A' stands for Alternate Captain. Basically, when the Captain (the 'C' on the jersey) is on the ice, he can talk to the officials about a call. When he is not on the ice, the refs will only listen to the 'A' players. At least, that's how I think it goes. Players tend to yap at refs whether they are a captain or not.
