There's something about hockey.
Besides soccer, it's potentially the most widely-flung sport on earth, played pretty much everywhere cold enough to enjoy a good, deep freeze and support a rink. It's played by nearly all peoples of the northern hemisphere, and the love harbored for it is one that transcends languages, borders, and continents. The breadth of its appeal is more than just geographic, though.
Nowhere was this fact more apparent than Friday afternoon at Kettler Capitals Iceplex in Arlington, Virginia, where the Washington Capitals, Monumental Sports and Entertainment Foundation, and Dreams For Kids DC hosted an event for children with disabilities.
