The Washington Capitals announced a new initiative Monday called ALL CAPS ALL HER. It is a program that aims to provide access to hockey and elevate the game for women and girls throughout the Washington D.C. area. It is being launched with the support of the NHL, National Hockey League Players’ Association, USA Hockey, MedStar, Capitals Iceplex, Potomac Valley Amateur Hockey Association, Chesapeake Bay Hockey League, Washington Pride, DMV Women’s Hockey and Black Girl Hockey Club.
“Hockey is a better sport and a stronger community when women are empowered to make their mark on the game, from the ice to the boardroom,” said Kim Davis, NHL senior executive vice president of social impact, growth initiatives, and legislative affairs.
