We sold 5,000 plus tickets to the first ever Washington Capitals Convention scheduled for Saturday, September 26th, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center. I am psyched. This is a big innovation for us and a new way to connect our fans to our players and franchise. I think it will be a great day. Our entire team will be there as will alumni; team officials; league officials; bloggers; members of the media; and fans from all around the world.
Thanks for your support. I so look forward to seeing you all at the event and look forward to your feedback as we want to make these annual conventions the best in the NHL. Go Caps!
Wish I could attend but I’ll be away at a youth hockey tournament on the very same weekend – darn! Not really, the youth hockey with the kids is the best, but this is a fantastic idea and I hope the Caps continue to do this sort of thing in the future. The fans love the access to the players and the organization brass.
Thanks Ted. We’ll be in attendance opening night cheering on the Caps over the Leafs.
I received my CapsCon passes in the mail this weekend. They are super spiffy – a collectible all in themselves.
Many thanks for going the extra mile for your fans and I’m looking forward to my day at the Gaylord!
