Bears, Caps an ‘Extended Honeymoon of Achievement’

11 March, 2010

Tremendous overview of the Washington-Hershey affiliation in the Patriot News blog of Tim Leone today: ‘Hershey Bears, Washington Capitals a Dynamic Duo.’
The timing of Leone’s work is understandable; the Caps are mere hours away from clinching their third consecutive Southeast division title, while the Bears, also runaway leaders of the AHL’s East division, soon will [...]

A Signing, and Another Sign Perhaps of Winter Classic Fun in Washington

The Capitals today announced the signing of right wing prospect Dmitry Kugryshev, their second-round selection in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft. The pact is a three-year entry level one.
Kugryshev is in his second season skating in North America, for Patrick Roy and the Quebec Remparts of the QMJHL. In 64 games this season Kugryshev, who [...]

Let There Be (Good) Music and Dancing Amid All This Winning

7 March, 2010

When I think of the two most significant advances/evolutions in Caps’ hockey over the course of 35 years, and their impact on hockey culture here, I point to the rabid red atmosphere enveloping the team at home in Chinatown and the team’s new-age approach to cultivating media coverage.
Ron Weber on Saturday night told me that [...]

Soul-Stirring Sentiments on Shinny

5 March, 2010

John Walton, the radio voice of the Hershey Bears, standing and shivering with other media at an outdoor Hershey Bears’ practice yesterday morning, looked out upon the frigid proceedings and said, “This is good for the soul.” I couldn’t agree more. As reward for playing hooky from work and driving up to Hershey on Thursday, [...]

Matty, Collecting Hats This February

28 February, 2010

It’s been a couple of months since Caps’ fans at Verizon Center have been able to chant “Let’s go Matty!”, in support of Mathieu Perreault, but those cries could resume soon. Last night, the fan favorite pivot scored four goals for the Hershey Bears in their 9-2 dismantling of Bridgeport before another sold out Giant [...]

Have the Admin Asst. Hold Yours Calls — Hockey’s on All Day

24 February, 2010

In about 30 minutes’ time I’ll begin some serious multi-tasking in my office. Around 10:30 I’ll begin following John Walton’s online call of the Hershey Bears’ schoolday game in Cleveland against the Lake Erie Monsters, a rematch of last Saturday’s 4-1 Bears’ triumph. The American League, to its credit, schedules a handful of these mid-morning [...]

A Miracle Acknowledged by Today’s American Hockey Stars

22 February, 2010

Up in Hershey this past weekend our blogger colleague Eric McErlain of Off Wing Opinion  joined us in a patriotic questioning of the Hershey Bears’ John Carlson. Carlson of course etched his name in American hockey lore last month, sudden-death silencing Canadians in Saskatoon and delivering the American Under-20 team gold. With the arrival of [...]

No Monsters’ Ball at Giant Center

21 February, 2010

The Hershey Bears found themselves in an exceptionally unusual position before Saturday night’s game against Lake Erie: confronting the possibility of an actual losing streak. On Friday night the Bears traveled to Adirondack and lost a 2-0 lead, succumbing to the Phantoms 5-3. Hershey, however, doesn’t lose a lot. The Bears last lost consecutive games just before [...]
