I think "leading" the team has something to do a skaters recent success. For example, Johnny was the most successful US skater attending COR, so he "leads" the team . The one most likely to reap more success, I guess. At least that's the way it seems to me....I honestly don't know, it's just what I think when I hear the phrase.
