Adding to the Core and More
I hope you can come out to Kettler Capitals Iceplex and enjoy seeing some of our young draftees and prospects practice and eventually play a game later in the week.
You will enjoy their energy and their passion for the game. Practices are always free and it is cool inside with lots of your friends in attendance.
We are all excited about the development of John Carlson as just one example. Click here to see the article in the Washington Post. He is maturing and getting bigger and stronger and has an edge to his game coupled with great skating abilities and a good shot. He played for Dale Hunter in juniors so his game should also be entertaining and he is learning to play the right way with respect and grit. Dale will actually be at our practice today as well. It always makes for a fun time when Dale is in the house. We think John one day can be a top 4 D man on our team.
