It’s that time of year again, when Caps fans can purchase the Caps Canine Calendar. The calendar is available for sale online at washcaps.com/caninecalendars for $20 plus shipping, at the team store and merchandise stands at Capital One Arena and at the Team Store at MedStar Capitals Iceplex. As usual, proceeds benefit Wolf Trap Animal Rescue and Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation.
The calendar features photos of Capitals players Alexander Alexeyev, John Carlson, Nic Dowd, Joel Edmundson, Nick Jensen, Darcy Kuemper, Charlie Lindgren, Beck Malenstyn, Anthony Mantha, Connor McMichael, T.J. Oshie, Alex Ovechkin, Dylan Strome and Trevor van Riemsdyk with their dogs; Tom Wilson with his dog and a dog from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue; and Nicklas Backstrom, Martin Fehervary, Lucas Johansen, Evgeny Kuznetsov, Sonny Milano, Max Pacioretty, Matthew Phillips, Aliaksei Protas and Rasmus Sandin with dogs from Wolf Trap Animal Rescue.
The talented Virgil Ocampo of Virgil Ocampo Photography donated his photography and photo editing services for the project, while Paige Dowd, Annie van Riemsdyk and Taylor Wilson served as art directors for the calendar.
MSE Foundation and the Capitals have donated more than $600,000 to local animal shelters through the sale of Caps Canine Calendars since 2012.
