The Capitals released their 2016 Development Camp and Fan Fest schedule today, and if your name is Peter Hassett you’ll be happy to hear that Matt Bradley is joining Kevin Kamiski, Olie Kolzig and Dennis Maruk at something called the Caps Alumni Exhibition on Wednesday, June 29, at 7:30 p.m. at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington.

Bradley was a fan favorite during his six seasons with the Caps from 2005-2011, notching 37 goals and 47 fights in 427 games. He even fought for Ovi one time. He’s now a pro scout for the Capitals.
