Hershey Bears to host Red Carpet Arrival event prior to Opening Night Oct. 6

The Capitals’ AHL affiliate, the Hershey Bears, kick off their season on Saturday, October 6, and the players will arrive in style.

The team will have a red carpet arrival to Giant Center, starting at 4 pm. The festivities start at 3 pm, with music entertainment, as well as food and drink available for purchase from local food trucks. The team store will also be open.

The event is similar to the Capitals’ Rock the Red Carpet event, which will be held 3 days earlier prior to their banner-raising Opening Night at Capital One Arena.

90 amazing photos from the Caps Red Carpet event

The Washington Capitals hosted their 2016-17 regular season home opener in style Saturday with a special red carpet event. As cars provided by Lexus dropped players off on F Street, diehard Caps fans lined the entrance, hoping for a picture or an autograph with their favorite athlete.

The event started at 3:30 and was hosted by PA Announcer Wes Johnson, who served as the master of ceremonies. Johnson introduced players as they arrived while preselected fans walked the players down the red carpet. Many Caps, including Alex Ovechkin, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Tom Wilson, Nate Schmidt, and Andre Burakovsky, posed for selfies with fans before going inside Verizon Center.

That afternoon, RMNB had two photographers at the event, myself and the talented Katie Snyder (who you can follow on Instagram and Facebook). Snyder is one of the Redskins’ home-game photographers and graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. Snyder also does a lot of freelance work, including family-based portraits.

Alex Ovechkin Reunites With Ann, John Carlson Debuts Man Bun, and Other Photos From the Caps Red Carpet

Photo: @WashCaps

Like some other NHL teams, the Washington Capitals had their very own red carpet event today ahead of their home opener against the New Jersey Devils. I’m not sure I love the idea of treating hockey players like movie stars, as the sport’s most marketable quality is just how down-to-earth and approachable these athletes are, but, hey, it’s a limited-time deal. So I can deal.

The first person to make his way down the carpet this afternoon was The Ice Cheetah himself, Jason Chimera. After him came a lot of new suits and a lot of new looks. For instance, John Carlson debuted a man bun, as captured by our own Chris Gordon. The sweetest moment of the ceremony was when Washington Capitals captain Alex Ovechkin was walked down the carpet by perfect human being Ann Schaab and RMNB reader Priscilla.

But, Ian, who was the best and worst dressed? Who had the most ridiculous hair? I’m glad you asked.

Video: Alex Ovechkin Talks to Heidi Androl on the Red Carpet

A playful Alex Ovechkin hit up the red carpet before tonight’s 2011 NHL SuperSkills competition and spoke briefly with NHL Network’s Heidi Androl. Heidi, who seemed preoccupied with Ovechkin’s lax wardrobe, pointed out to the Russian Machine that he was missing a tie and cufflinks. Ovechkin, beaming with pride, encouraged her to check out his cuffs saying, “Look. I didn’t even do my button.” Oh man, vintage Ovi.
