    The Caps Go Bowling For Charity

    Caps Bowling (12 of 31)

    The Caps may have had trouble scoring lately, but on Saturday afternoon players were racking up scores by the hundreds. Then again, the game was bowling. Karl Alzner, Matt Bradley, Jason Chimera, Eric Fehr, Boyd Gordon, Matt Hendricks, DJ King, Mike Knuble, Jeff Schultz, David Steckel, Brooks Laich–plus their wives, girlfriends, and children–took part in “Bowling with the Caps” at Lucky Strike Lanes in downtown DC. The event was all for charity, raising over $60,000 for the Chris Walsh Cancer Survivorship Fund at Virginia Hospital Center.

    It was a great time,” Hendricks said. “It’s a lot of fun to get out there and mingle with the fans for a good cause.”

    Hendricks’ bowling caught the eye of Schultz who questioned whether his teammate might have had too much spare time growing up.

    “Hendy looks pretty good. Must be the only thing they have to do in Minnesota is bowl,” said Schultz, who admitted that he isn’t nearly as good. “My bowling is brutal. I didn’t have too high expectations because I don’t bowl at all. Ever. But it’s fun, though.”

    Another standout was David Steckel, who is known to be quite the Wii bowler.

    Like Schultz, Alzner conceded that he should probably stick to hockey.

    “I’d be having more fun if I was a good bowler,” he said, adding that the last time he bowled was back in British Columbia. “Just a few nights when we were bored, had nothing to do back home. Just throwing balls down the lane. Halfway through the game, I’d start throwing with my opposite hand just because I can’t bowl. Yeah, I’m not that good.”
