alumni to play in Washington
The Washington Capitals and South Carolina Stingrays extended their affiliation for at least another three years on Thursday. The Caps are in their second stint as the parent club of the Rays with the first being from 2004-2012. After a two-year stint with the Reading Royals as the ECHL affiliate, the Caps returned to the Rays in 2014 and have been the affiliate since.
It’s this decade-old relationship that has provided such a strong affiliation in the eyes of Stingrays president Rob Concannon, who spoke to Capitals Outsider in April.
