Hockey is back! Photos from the first week of Capitals training camp

On Saturday, the Capitals took to the ice at Medstar Capitals Iceplex for the second day of training camp. With the camp roster and invites split into three group, each group spent time doing on-ice practice, off-ice training, and video review.

Although the roster has gone through their first cuts, such as sending first-round draft pick Alexander Alexeyev back to his junior league team, Saturday’s practice featured everyone. Alexeyev, who had an impressive training camp, was in Group White with Caps vets Braden Holtby, Nicklas Backstrom, and TJ Oshie. Group Red paired goalies Pheonix Copley and Ilya Samsonov, both of whom are in the running to be number two in the net behind Holtby this season. Group Blue featured Alex Ovechkin and the Caps’ Russians, who along with Tom Wilson were on the celebratory end of a competitive two-on-two drill–Ovi was jumping up and down on his skates celebrating the win.

Plans for Chandler Stephenson’s Cup day in Humboldt revealed

In late June, news surfaced that Capitals forward Chandler Stephenson would spend his day with the Stanley Cup in Humboldt, Saskatchewan. Stephenson, who grew up 70 miles west of the devastated town, was deeply affected by the tragedy.

“Usually before you win the Cup you don’t say the words Stanley Cup, but he actually at the start of the playoffs told a lot of people about how he wanted to take the Cup to Humboldt if he won,” NHL Director of Social Engagement Andrew Ference said. “He’s a Saskatoon native, so I was cheering for him obviously for that reason alone. And lo and behold he won it.”

Friday, the Broncos announced that the NHL and NHLPA will be supporting Stephenson’s event which is being called Humboldt Hockey Day. Stephenson will meet with Humboldt community members, take photos, sign autographs, and play shinny hockey with kids. Capitals prospect Connor Hobbs will join Stephenson in Humboldt along with a good deal of current and former NHL players.
