Each season, the Washington Capitals prepare for their on-ice campaign with a renewed sense of purpose and drive. New players and returning veterans battle for roster spots, all with an eye to making that final cut and joining the team’s starting lineup.
The Red Rockers, the Caps’ spirit squad, went through a similar (if much briefer) process this past weekend. I stopped by the Washington Sports Club in Columbia Heights to catch some of the Rockers’ auditions. Roughly 100 young hopefuls came to WSC to convince the judges that they have the energy, personality, and savvy to be Red Rockers.
