Kent Gardens Elementary School earned a Capitals player visit by
having the highest percentage rate of attendance of all the schools
that received game tickets through the Caps Care Click to Win
program this season. Pothier was joined by the radio voice of the
Capitals Steve Kolbe and team mascot Slapshot.
As the emcee, Kolbe commended the school on their achievements all
year long and particularly their turnout at the Capitals game on
Oct. 13 versus the Vancouver Canucks. He then led the students in a
chant of “Let’s Go Caps” in order to make
Slapshot appear. Slapshot excited the students and impressed them
with his ability to pump out a set of push-ups.
