You may have heard Joe Beninati mention “Billy from Scotland” on some broadcasts over the years. For his 29th birthday, Billy realized a lifelong dream: Watching the Washington Capitals live from Verizon Center.
Prior to Thursday’s 1-0 win over the Devils, Billy spent the morning at Kettler Iceplex. After listening call games for more than 20 years, Billy finally met Beninati himself.
