Capitals Hosting Women In Hockey Night At Capital One Arena

WASHINGTON, DC — The Washington Capitals are hosting a Women in Hockey Night on Monday, March 28 when the team plays the Carolina Hurricanes at Capital One Arena.

Monday’s game theme night follows a month of programming dedicated to females in hockey in honor of Women’s History Month. In-game and social content will highlight women in hockey and showcase the Capitals ALL CAPS ALL HER program.

The Capitals launched ALL CAPS ALL HER in December as an initiative that provides access to hockey and elevates the game for women and girls in the Washington, D.C., area.

ALL CAPS ALL HER recognizes and supports female players, coaches, referees, parents, advocates, students and leaders in the community. Events and programs throughout the year provide various levels of entry into hockey for women and girls of all ages.

In early March, the Capitals partnered with the Professional Women’s Hockey Player’s Association to host the 2021-22 Secret Dream Gap Tour at MedStar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington. In addition, the Capitals and PWHPA presented three clinics for local players, featuring instruction by PWHPA athletes and coaches and the Capitals youth hockey development staff.

On Saturday, March 26, as part of the ALL CAPS ALL HER platform, the Capitals will host a Women in Sports Networking Event at the Medstar Capitals Iceplex in Arlington for undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing a career in sports.

The agenda includes a panel featuring women from across the Capitals organization on career paths in hockey and the chance to network with Capitals staff and other attendees. To register for the Women in Sports Networking Event, visit the event website.
