Here is a terrific article about the Washington Capitals and the Hershey Bears.
This systemic excellence was part of our plan and commitment to our fans and was a fundamental plank in our rebuild.
We clinched the SE Division last night. Some of you already have already mocked us for that for which I will never understand your rationale. We understand we have higher goals in mind but winning a division championship is an important first step.
We have won the division now 3 times in a row. It was also a promise to build a consistently great team that can compete for a championship year after year in both the NHL and the AHL. We have been delivering on our promises to you and to our players.
We are grateful for such a great relationship with our friends in Hershey.
We celebrate our win of the division with 15 games left to play.
Go Caps. Go Bears. Thank you fans.

One more win for Hershey at home will make for 23 straight games which would be an all time pro hockey sports record. The Bears tied the record last night at 22 consecutive home wins. Read this story it is indeed remarkable. Caps are in first place in NHL; Bears are in first place in AHL. Caps have longest winning streak in NHL this year; Bears have it this year in AHL as well.
I guess we are pretty strong organizationally. We are proud but humble. Go Bears!

We have a wonderful relationship with the Hershey Bears. We believe in them as a franchise. We pay homage to them for helping us to be a success in the NHL.
The Bears and the Caps are on quite a run. We as a combined entity have won 18 games in a row and 30 of the last 31 games.The Bears have won 20 of the last 21 games they have played. They have won 16 in a row at home.
Both teams lead the division in points. Both teams lead their leagues in goals scored. The Bears are the best franchise right now in the entire AHL. Go Bears. Go Caps.
How is that for a plan coming together?

The Hershey Bears are winners of twelve games in a row with a record of 29-8-2. They are playing the best they have ever played.
We are so proud of this franchise. We are so proud of how “simpatico” we are with the folks in Hershey. Congratulations to them for the system they run; the expectations they place on their personnel; and how they develop our young talent. Bears. Bears. Bears. Whooooooo! What an awesome season so far. Go Bears!

Not a bad pick in the 6th round, huh?
Another player drafted, developed and inculcated with the right habits and culture down in Hershey and another young prospect helping us immediately once he steps on the ice.
We have depth. We have a system that is taught everywhere and adhered to and we have many talented prospects that will push our veterans for ice time. They are hungry. They deserve the chance to play and make an impact and make their dreams of playing in the NHL come to fruition.
We love youth. We embrace giving everyone in our system a chance to play and show us what they can do. We believe this is also a show of loyalty by letting our own young players get a chance to contribute and rewarding them for their efforts in the AHL on our behalf instead of taking a chance on someone else’s vet player. This is a part of our philosophy and plan.
I am proud of Mathieu Perreault. I am proud to be associated with the Hershey Bears. Go Bears! Keep ‘em coming our way. Go Caps! Read this article.

I like the word “inculcate”. It speaks of virtue and of lessons learned early in life.
Click here for information from Dictionary.com on the word “inculcate”.
Inculcating a winning tradition in our team starts early and now often at Hershey and South Carolina.
Here is a story by Dan Daly of the Washington Times. It is a very upbeat and positive story about the Capitals; our young players; our Hershey AHL partnership; and about “inculcating” winning that will hopefully lead to a championship in DC one day.
Click here to read this article. One day into the official off season and I already can’t wait for next season to start. Go Caps!

Last night was quite the night of hockey watching Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals on television while watching the
Hershey Bears win the Calder Cup on a laptop.
Can we be any prouder of our AHL partners? No we can’t!
They are helping us to build a culture of excellence and of winning. They are grooming our young players and molding them into champions. The Hershey Bears are the cream of the crop in the AHL with 10 Calder Cup Trophies in their history! Kudos to Michael Neuvirth for being named Playoff MVP as well.
