Fan Fest to Kickoff Training Camp
The Caps announced today that training camp will open up Friday, September 14th with a Fan Fest celebration. According to Caps PR department, "Fan Fest will feature autograph sessions with players, a town hall-style meeting with chairman and majority owner Ted Leonsis and a live broadcast by DC101's Elliot in the Morning Show. For each of the first three days of camp fans can play interactive hockey games and four of hockey's most prestigious trophies - the Calder, King Clancy, Norris and Vezina - will be on display.
Fan Fest also marks the first opportunity for fans to purchase the Capitals' new jerseys. The jerseys available at Fan Fest will be Rbk Premier Replicas without names or numbers; fans will have the opportunity to order personalization that day."
The team also announced it's practice schedule for training camp, which unlike the football team in town, are all open to the public free of charge.
