Washington Capitals Head Coach Bruce Boudreau today is in Niagra Falls, Ont., volunteering at the Hockey Resume Free Agent Camp. Hockey Resume helps out-of-work hockey players land minor league tryouts and, hopefully, contracts.

One might think Boudreau is graciously volunteering his time — returning from the NHL to his hard-fought minor league days, perhaps — but Boudreau, ever ready with a wisecrack, revealed the true reason for his appearance at the camp:

"I’m basically doing it so my son doesn’t have to pay," Boudreau said. "They wanted something like 400 bucks (actually $325) for the camp and I said I’d help out with a practice and give their camp some validity if my son could attend for free. I did the same thing at the Roger Neilson Hockey Camp last week for my other son."
