The Washington Capitals announced their promotional schedule for the 2022-23 season. For those of you slackers who need gimmicks to go a Caps’ hockey game, these giveaways and theme nights will give you added incentive on top of watching one of the greatest goal-scorers of all time.
The promotional schedule is highlighted by, and this might sound familiar, an Alex Ovechkin goal-counter bobblehead. The bobble will be given away during the March 21, 2023, Columbus Blue Jackets game. Other notable giveaways include a schedule magnet on Opening Night against the Bruins (Oct. 12), a free snapback hat against the Kraken (Dec. 9), and a holiday blanket against the Red Wings (Dec. 19).
The other intriguing headline promotion is a Biscuit stuffed animal and a dog bone, which comes as a gift with a group ticket purchase to Caps Canines Night against the Anaheim Ducks (Feb. 23).
Pride Night will be Jan. 17 against the Minnesota Wild and Women in Hockey Night will be held on March 23 against the Chicago Blackhawks. 🤔
