Washington Capitals fans have two upcoming opportunities to meet members of the franchise’s 2018 Stanley Cup championship team in November.

TJ Oshie and Braden Holtby will hold public autograph signings at Eavesdrop Brewery in Manassas, Virginia, on consecutive weekends, with Oshie appearing on Saturday, November 14, and Holtby following on Sunday, November 22.

Both events will be hosted by Above Average Graphing (AAG), which has routinely brought current and former Capitals players to the brewery for public appearances over the past two years.

Oshie’s appearance on November 14 will double as Eavesdrop Brewery’s first-ever “hockey tailgate”, ahead of the Capitals’ 7 pm home game against the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena. The event will also celebrate Oshie’s recent election to the U.S. Hockey Hall of Fame as part of its Class of 2026. The longtime Capitals forward, who helped Washington capture its first Stanley Cup in 2018, will officially be inducted during a ceremony in Washington, DC, on November 30.

Holtby, meanwhile, will headline AAG’s final “Sunday Funday” event of 2026 on November 22. The former Capitals goaltender remains one of the franchise’s most beloved players after backstopping Washington to its 2018 championship, including his iconic stop on Alex Tuch in Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final, forever known as “The Save.”

Both players have previously appeared at Eavesdrop Brewery, though opportunities to meet them have been relatively rare over the years.

Autograph signing details

Both signings are scheduled to run from 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm at Eavesdrop Brewery, located at 7223 Centreville Road in Manassas, Virginia.

Autograph tickets for both Oshie and Holtby will cost $99 per item, with inscriptions $49 for three words or less. Beckett authentication will also be available on site for $10 per item.

Tickets will begin going on sale Saturday at noon through Above Average Graphing’s website. The organizer warned that both appearances could sell out.

Fans can find additional information and purchase tickets through the individual event pages for TJ Oshie (November 14) and Braden Holtby (November 22).

Mail-order autograph options

AAG will also accept mail-order submissions from fans who cannot attend the events in person. According to the event pages, items for Oshie must arrive by November 7, while Holtby’s deadline is November 15. Fans using the mail-order option are instructed not to purchase regular admission tickets. Instead, they should arrange their submissions and payment directly through AAG. A prepaid return shipping label is recommended.

The signings will mark AAG’s final major autograph events of 2026.

Jordan Kyrou meeting fans on Sunday

Above Average Graphing will also be hosting two more players this weekend. Jordan Kyrou will hold his first public autograph signing since joining the Capitals, appearing from 1 pm to 2:30 pm on Sunday. Autographs are priced at $79 per item, with inscriptions available for an additional $20 and optional Beckett authentication for $10.

Fans interested in attending can find additional information on Kyrou’s official signing page.

Ryan Leonard will follow Kyrou from 3 pm to 4:30 pm, making his first-ever public autograph signing. The event, organized in partnership with Fanatics, has already sold out.
