I cant wait I'm so excited to expose her to the whole atmosphere of the Phone Booth. I know its only preseason but I'm hoping that she will be as excited as I am to be at any game or practice for that matter. Also the only player she knows of is Ovie so she needs to see him play and see all of the other amazing talent that the Caps have. I am taking my cousin to her first hockey game ever tonight!

They rock, and they are converting new fans all the time :) As a fellow Southern girl, who had a little more exposure to hockey (extended family in detroit), I was still totally enraptured by my first experience seeing the caps play last season (just moved to DC last year) and this year I bought the 11 game plan (would have gotten more if I could have afforded it).

My favorite thing is to see people go from really just wanting to see a fight when they first get there, to actually enjoying the game itself by the end of the night..

I've been lurking on this site for awhile now, thoroughly impressed with the good writing and incredibly jealous of the blog name (once had an article titled On Frozen Pond, a favourite piece of writing of mine, published in one of our major daily papers). In any case, just wanted to give you mad props for continuously singing the virtues of this great game, and getting more people interested in supporting the Caps. If the Sens are my team, then the Caps are my 1A. OV all the way. Canadian here, sitting up north in our nation’s capital, Ottawa…
