Washington Capitals fans will have the opportunity to meet two of the team’s biggest stars in one trip next month.
Ryan Leonard and Jordan Kyrou will hold back-to-back public autograph signings at Eavesdrop Brewery in Manassas, Virginia, on Sunday, Oct. 18.
Kyrou will go first, signing from 1:00 to 2:30 pm, before Leonard takes over at 3:00 pm.
The events will be hosted by Above Average Graphing, which has routinely brought out Capitals players to the brewery for public appearances over the past two years.
Autograph and photo tickets for Leonard and autograph tickets for Kyrou can be purchased on aagstore.net, which includes full information and details.
Leonard’s appearance will mark his first-ever public signing, according to AAG, which partnered with Fanatics to bring the Capitals forward to the event. Leonard is an exclusive Fanatics client.
Leonard’s signing will operate a little differently from AAG’s usual events. Standard autographs will cost $60 and include photos up to 16×20, pucks, mini helmets, and trading cards. Premium items — including jerseys, full-size helmets, and hockey sticks — will cost $80 to have signed. Inscriptions are $20 each, with a maximum of two per item.
Every item Leonard signs will receive Fanatics authentication at no additional charge. Fans who want a posed photo with Leonard must purchase a separate $60 photo-op ticket, though AAG says attendees can still photograph Leonard signing their item from the table.
Because of Leonard’s agreement with Fanatics, only officially licensed merchandise will be accepted. AAG says unlicensed merchandise, custom artwork, unauthorized jersey numbers, and game-used items will not be eligible for signing at the event.
Kyrou will make his first public signing appearance since being acquired by the Capitals over the summer.
Autographs from Kyrou will cost $79 per item, with inscriptions of three words or fewer available for an additional $20. Fans can also add Beckett authentication for $10.
The signings will take place at Eavesdrop Brewery, 7223 Centreville Road in Manassas. Tickets for both events can be purchased through on aagstore.netAbove Average Graphing’s website and will be available through will-call on the day of the event. Online ticket sales are scheduled to close at 7 pm on Thursday, Oct. 15.
AAG is also accepting mail-order items for both players. Leonard mail-ins are due by Saturday, Oct. 10, while AAG’s current Kyrou event page lists his mail-in deadline as Sunday, Oct. 11. Fans using the mail-order option are instructed not to purchase a regular event ticket and instead arrange their submission directly with AAG.
Eavesdrop Brewery and Above Average Graphing have become a regular destination for player autograph signings, previously hosting TJ Oshie, Tom Wilson, Aliaksei Protas, Logan Thompson, Dylan Strome, Brandon Duhaime, Justin Sourdif, Lars Eller, and John Carlson.
