The Washington Capitals have their training camp in Odenton, Maryland. It is free to the public and there are two hour-long scrimmages and a practice afterwards. Fans got a rare opportunity to meet all of their favorite players in a fan-friendly atmosphere. DCpages own Kostas Pontikis will follow the CAPS this season starting from training camp and ending hopefully with the team winning the Stanley Cup.
