Combined Posts: Charlotte and Brandon

Today, we went to the Washington Capitals Hockey Practice at the Kettler Capitals Iceplex.  With the team coming off of a bad loss last night to the Colorado Avalanche, the team was up for quite a workout today.  We arrived at the rink two hours prior to the start of practice and headed towards the visitors gate to catch a glimpse of the great Alex Ovechkin. Freezing by the glass, Charlotte  captured some great photos of the team skating and sprinting down the ice. After an intense session, the team was exhausted and headed towards the locker room. We shouted for autographs and managed to get the All-Star Defenseman Mike Green to come to us for a signature. We then headed to the parking garage where we came across two other players heading home, Tom Poti and David Steckel (pictured above). It was quite "the saturday" experience for two Hamiltonians in this exciting city.
