Wishing a Fond Farewell to Steve Oleksy

Hershey Bears captain  Steve Oleksy officially departed the Washington Capitals organization Wednesday after signing a deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins. Caps Outsider would like to wish Oleksy a very fond farewell. In the three years he was around, Oleksy went above and beyond what most players do to connect with fans and the media, staying very active on twitter, spending time with fans (sometimes a lot of them) and giving great interviews.

Here are some of our favorite Oleksy photos from the past three years:
