For several years, the Washington Capitals participated in ‘Beautification Day’ for D.C. schools. This year, the principals called it off, saying they’d prefer sustained support instead of a one-day blitz of volunteers. Good luck with that.
In past years, Capitals who participated in this included Nicklas Backstrom, Troy Brouwer, Matt Hendricks, Mike Ribeiro, Jeff Schultz, Chris Brown and Stanislav Galiev.
