On Feb. 19 the Washington Capitals and Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation teamed
up with Dreams for Kids DC (DFKDC) to welcome nearly 100 children with physical and
developmental disabilities to Kettler Capitals Iceplex for an ice hockey clinic.

Dreams for Kids DC is a childrens charity that

organizes life-changing activities with a goal of
empowering children with disabilities and helping
them to reach their full potential. The event
marked the sixth-consecutive year that the
Washington Capitals and MSE Foundation have
partnered with Dreams for Kids DC.

Prior to the start of the skate, participants were

invited to enjoy lunch donated by Subway and
socialize with their volunteers and other
participants. These children, along with their
family members and volunteers, then had the
opportunity to skate alongside Capitals defenseman Taylor Chorney and forward Tom Wilson.
Chorney and Wilson spent time taking pictures with, talking to and skating with the Dreams For
Kids participants and volunteers.

I think its wonderful for them to see their local sports heroes inspiring them on the ice, really
pushing them to go and try new things, said Glenda Fu, DFKDC executive director. A lot of these
kids, its their first time on the ice, and theyre very shy or nervous about it, so to see the Caps
players encouraging them and rooting them on I think its really impactful.

You cant overstate how important it is to give back, said Chorney. This event was definitely
special. When you get the chance to work with kids, I think that probably makes it even more
special just to see how much enjoyment it brings them.

In addition to the skate, Leveling the Playing Field (LPF), a Monumental Sports & Entertainment
Foundation partner whose mission is to give underserved children the opportunity to be involved in
athletics, donated hockey equipment to Dreams for Kids DC. The equipment, which includes
helmets, knee pads and gloves, was collected at a number of Capitals partner ice rinks over the
course of the season.
