Per the Washington Capitals Media Relations Department:
Washington Capitals defenseman Jeff Schultz and assistant coach Bob Woods along with Capitals alumnus Ken Sabourin and Slapshot will visit Berwyn Heights Community Center at 1:45 p.m. on Tuesday, May 24. Schultz, Woods, Sabourin and Slapshot are participating in the Capitals Hockey School program presented by Capital One Bank. The trio will be directing a floor hockey session in the community center’s gym with 140 fifth and sixth-grade students.
Schultz, Woods and Sabourin will participate in a question-and-answer session with the students and lead a skills demonstration. They will guide the students through several drills focusing on stickhandling, passing and shooting. Schultz and Sabourin will demonstrate each skill and call on volunteers from the audience to demonstrate what they have learned. The clinic will conclude with several students participating in a brief scrimmage along with Schultz on one team and Sabourin on the other. Following the clinic a set of street hockey equipment will be donated by the Capitals to the school.
This will be the Capitals 18th Capitals Hockey School visit this season and the third of the month. The Capitals host at least two Hockey School visits each month between September and May, donating street hockey equipment to each participating school.
This is the fourth-consecutive year the Capitals have conducted their Hockey School program. The Caps hosted more than 30 clinics and reached nearly 5,000 students the past three years. During the 2010-11 season alone, thousands of elementary and middle school students graduated from the program.
