Tuesday afternoon, Medstar Capitals Iceplex was invaded by an army of heckin’ good boys and an unbelievably adorable floof named Arthur for the annual Capitals Canine Calendar photoshoot.
To raise money and awareness for less fortunate animals, the Capitals partnered with Wolf Trap Animal Rescue to produce this year’s canine calendar. This year’s edition will be available for purchase later this year for $20 and the proceeds will benefit both WTAR and the MSE Foundation.
Like in years past, some players brought their families and pets to participate, while others were matched with some of WTAR’s rescue animals.
The creative directors for this year’s shoot were Taylor Wilson, Annie van Riemsdyk, and Paige Dowd. They helped coordinate the shots throughout the day and somehow managed to maintain order in all of the chaos.
Below are my photos from the day and some information about the pups and kitties who participated.

Connor McMichael and his girlfriend Lene have a new addition to their family.
The couple just adopted a new puppy that they’ve named Knight. The eight-week-old black lab went to his forever home a day before his papa scored the first goal of his NHL career.
So, the equation there is that you should adopt a dog and you will score a goal in the NHL. It’s just the math, folks.

There were a lot of good doggos that entered in the 145th Westminster Dog Show, but in our opinion, there was only one that we could qualify as simply sensational.
During Sunday night’s airing of the event, a beautiful Irish Setter named Ovechkin was introduced to the world.
Washington Capitals defenseman Jonas Siegenthaler roomed with veteran blueliner Tyler Lewington during his time with the AHL Hershey Bears. During the 2017-18 season, the two roomies decided to make an addition to their family.
“We bought a dog down there,” Siegenthaler said on the Capitals Talk podcast in September 2019. “It was pretty spontaneous. It was a little pomsky. I always wanted a dog so we bought one.”
Monday, Siegenthaler showed off Odey’s rain gear before taking it on a walk in his native Switzerland.
The Capitals’ team pup, Captain, celebrated his first birthday on Wednesday.
And the Caps went all out for their furriest friend.
The Washington Capitals introduced us to Captain, their ridiculously adorable new puppy, on October 5, 2019. 48,000 Twitter followers and 26 RMNB stories later, Captain has been voted the NHL’s Best Team Dog in the 2020 Fan Choice Awards.
Captain won with 22 percent of the vote defeating nine other dogs including Montreal’s Flambo (16.4%) and the NY Islanders’ Tori (12.7%).

You might remember that last year the Caps, because of our urging, got a dog. Captain is that dog and he is perfect. We are close, personal friends who have never met.
Today, Captain (my friend) needs your help. This is important.
Please vote for Captain as the NHL’s best team dog in the NHL Fan Choice Awards.

Washington Capitals forward Brendan Leipsic did something incredible today.
He surprised his grandmother with a new puppy on National Puppy Day. This is the content we crave on this Very Important holiday.
