Ted's Take

Dick Patrick is our longtime President of the Washington Capitals. He is a successful business leader here in our community as well as a great husband and family man. I consider him a very close friend and confidante. He has no ego. He is low key and I was thrilled to see that he did this interview on the radio yesterday.

He actually reached out to me and brought me into the game of hockey as majority owner of the team. It was Dick who was most vocal about our rebuild. It was Dick who I give the credit to for extending the Ovechkin contract to 13 years. He pushed us all to make that aggressive move.

Dick is steady, mature, honest and has very high levels of personal integrity. He is also part of one of hockey’s royal family. He may seem low key but the passions for our team and the game boil at high levels within.

I am honored to be partners with Dick Patrick. Read this article.
