From Sweat to Sanctuary in 30 Hours
The visiting team’s locker room at the Verizon Center is a dull one- gray, boring, and otherwise uninviting. However, it was recently transformed into temporary quarters for the Dalai Lama’s visit, according to CTV Washington. Continue reading

Why Covering Development Camp Is Worth It
In some ways, attending Capitals’ development camp beats covering every other hockey event the rest of the year.
Sometimes, it’s because of camp attendees who don’t have two pixels to their names but who pleasantly surprise you, both with their play and their natural talent at answering a barrage of questions from unfamiliar journalists (let’s face it … how many 17 year olds can do that?). Continue reading

Meet Your 2011-12 Red Rockers
Each season, the Washington Capitals prepare for their on-ice campaign with a renewed sense of purpose and drive. New players and returning veterans battle for roster spots, all with an eye to making that final cut and joining the team’s starting lineup.
The Red Rockers, the Caps’ spirit squad, went through a similar (if much briefer) process this past weekend. I stopped by the Washington Sports Club in Columbia Heights to catch some of the Rockers’ auditions. Roughly 100 young hopefuls came to WSC to convince the judges that they have the energy, personality, and savvy to be Red Rockers. Continue reading
Joel Ward Never Has A Bad Day
Perhaps the most impressive thing about Joel Ward is his life motto.
Undrafted, college graduate, AHL veteran, the Capitals’ newly signed Ward knows the non-glamorous side to being a professional athlete. He told OFB that being a leader sometimes means stepping out of a personal comfort zone in order to get someone to listen. But then comes his life motto—”Never have a bad day”—and you understand what makes him stand out in a sports culture of NFL lockouts and hour-long sporting events dedicated to one player’s decision to change teams.
Ward told OFB he’s excited about the makeup of his new team and says it will be fun to watch guys like Mike Green, Alex Ovechkin, and Alexander Semin as teammates. And the Capitals fanbase has already made an impression on him from his time in an opposing team’s jersey. Ward described the Capitals’ fan support as unbelievable, gave a verbal stick tap to the sea of red jerseys , and talked about how he could see the passion among Capitals faithful. Continue reading
