Saturday morning, the Metro Maple Leafs, a group of youth hockey teams from Odenton, MD, visited Kettler and took the ice with Capitals players. Their special day was part of sponsored youth hockey visit though the team.
Now I know this was a once-in-a-lifetime experience for the kids, but I think Caps players may of had more fun.
First, check out Evgeny Kuznetsov who played keep away from literally an entire team of kids.

Next, watch Braden Holtby get deked into next week by this 11-year-old.

Then there’s shootout specialist TJ Oshie, who failed to score on one of the tiny goalies.
And here’s T.J. Oshie getting poke checked by a little guy…and Braden Holtby cheering on his fellow goaltender. Hahaha. #Caps pic.twitter.com/MgKOe2KHjZ

The Caps players also made sure to give tutorials when they could.
