Tarik Takes Another Beat

Tarik will be missed. He loved hockey. He was very professional, tough but fair to us as a franchise.

We are all appreciative of his hard work on behalf of the Washington Post in covering our team and its players. He is a great journalist and a tireless worker.

Beat reporting is a very tough job indeed. The travel and deadlines makes it a young person’s sport.

Welcome Katie to the beat. Go Caps!

  1. Dear Mr. Leonis:

    Most of these beer choices are not real choices but are brands connected with AB or SAB. This is not the case in Philadelphia or Seattle sport venues. However, it is most likely a reflection of the lack of beer sophistication of people in this area compared to the Pacific NW.

  2. Thanks Tarik… your articles were always a highlight of my day. I appreciated your hard work to always get the story straight.

  3. I am so bummed that Tarik will not be covering the caps anymore. I thought he did an excellent job!
