As part of our strategy regarding our rebuild, I promised that the new Washington Capitals would integrate the Kettler Capitals Iceplex and the Hershey Bears affiliation as integral parts of our franchise’s core DNA and system.
We wanted to create an AHL franchise relation that helped us develop our players into a system that was comfortable for our players as they entered the NHL and to get a taste of winning and team work plus allow them to bond together as teammates. Well, we made good on that promise as this article outlines.
How about moving your ECHL affiliate from South Carolina to Mississippi? There is a definite connection between the three coaches of the respective clubs. Both Walby and Woods used to play for Boudreau when he coached Mississippi.
Amen.
How about a double header next year with a Bears game preceding a Caps game on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon/evening?
Ted,
Any plans to bring any of the Hershey Fans to VC for some playoff games? I think it would be great to get a few bus loads from PA that arent Pens or Flyer fans!
