""It's been amazing," Murray McMichael said. "You know, with the dads, part of the Washington trip here, it's amazing to meet them, to talk to them, to understand them. With the team itself and the fathers themselves on this trip, it's like a big family. So it's amazing how well everybody gets along and how much fun we're having with each other. So it's been really good.""
""It's outstanding," John said of the trip so far. "It's a first-class organization getting to meet the other families, the fathers, and then see the other players is tremendous." "It's gonna be a lot of fun," Ryan countered, "but I think our fathers are looking forward to it a little bit more.""
The Washington Capitals held their annual Mentors' Trip featuring mostly fathers, brothers, uncles, and in-laws who supported players' NHL aspirations. The trip included a stop at Chicago's United Center where the Capitals dominated a young Blackhawks team, winning 5-1. Goals came from Anthony Beauvillier, Connor McMichael, Ethen Frank, Justin Sourdif, and Alex Ovechkin. Fathers and family members actively participated throughout the weekend, attending the flight, pregame activities, and the postgame locker room, with social media photos and video from the Capitals and Monumental Sports Network documenting the events and interactions.
