It’s June 16, Father’s Day, and with many dads on the team–including soon-to-be father Dmitry Orlov–there was a lot to celebrate.
The Capitals started off the day’s feels with a video montage made from moments from the players’ days with the Stanley Cup over the summer, and from their annual Mentor’s Trips.

Dog Dads are dads too, and Nic and Paige Dowd’s fur baby Arlo enjoyed his kisses and cuddle session.
Arlo even left Nic some presents…in the yard…maybe don’t regift those, eh?

The NHL released a short video with a few memorable moments from around the league. The highlight is definitely the Carolina Hurricanes’ dads doing a silly “storm surge” of their own after their sons beat the Dallas Stars during their Father’s Trip.
