Shane Gersich: Future Olympian for the US Men’s Gymnastics Team?

Shane Gersich was one of the Capitals’ final cuts and just missed out on being a part of the team’s Phase 4/2020 playoffs roster.

How Capitals practices have changed during the coronavirus pandemic: temperature checks, social distancing, and masks

As the first week of the NHL’s Return To Play plan wraps up, it’s clear the steps the Washington Capitals are taking to keep their facility safe during the coronavirus pandemic are working. Friday, I was the first RMNB reporter to attend a practice since the coronavirus pandemic shuttered the rest of the regular season on March 12.

Personally, I was nervous to go. I have been self-isolating since March. Other than grocery store trips, I’ve stayed inside. I’ve only let my family and roommate be in my quarantine bubble.

I’m happy to report the Capitals did everything they could to make media members feel safe. There were big differences in how practices were conducted and how media members could operate than before.
