Ten days ago, we reported that longtime Capitals reporter Jill Sorenson would not be back with CSN Mid-Atlantic next season. Several CSN employees we spoke to were dismayed by the news as were a wide swath of Capitals fans, who tweeted words of support to the award-winning journalist.
Earlier this week, Sorenson addressed the situation in a Tweet and chose to thank everyone for their kind words.
Jill Sorenson is one of the most respected and beloved hockey reporters in the area, but she will not be returning to CSN Mid-Atlantic next season.
According to multiple sources who asked not to be identified, Sorenson was let go by CSN Mid-Atlantic on Monday ahead of her multi-year contract expiring at the end of the year.
Sorenson confirmed the news in a message, but had no comment on her departure.
You guys were totally on TV.
During a segment on SportsNet Central, CSN’s Jill Sorenson introduced viewers to #TweetLikeOviDay and highlighted her favorite tweets from the day.

The Capitals have been sputtering lately and things came to a head Monday night.
After a second period which featured some of the Caps’ worst hockey in years, Barry Trotz took matters into his own hands.
CSN Mid-Atlantic’s Michael Jenkins has done it again.

Our favorite interviewer of barely comprehensible Russian Caps, CSN Washington’s Jill Sorenson, is back in action with another dispatch from the language barrier. In a segment titled “Questions For Kuzy,” Jill drills Evgeny Kuznetsov with tough questions — like what’s your favorite TV show.
Kuznetsov struggles through every answer, but his priceless facial expressions more than make up for that.
Alex Ovechkin scored his 50th goal of the season on Tuesday night. That milestone naturally gave reporters the opportunity to reflect on exactly how great the Capitals captain has been.
Speaking with Michael Jenkins, CSN Washington’s Jill Sorenson (follow her on Twitter here) said it was Ovechkin’s durability over the last nine seasons that has impressed her most.
Basically, Russian machine never breaks.
Check this out.
CSN Washington’s Jill “Are Your Shoes Comfortable?“ Sorenson is at it again. This time she authored a serious interview with Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin about the upcoming Sochi Winter Olympics.
Jill asks Ovi about why the Olympic Games mean so darn much to him (warning: he admits to crying as a kid), what his role is as an ambassador (still not entirely clear), and if he’d check Nicklas Backstrom if the opportunity presented itself.
