The Washington Capitals have been bringing the excitement of hockey to Washington, DC since the NFL franchise came to town in 1974. As the division-winning champions in '99-'00, the Caps have generated lots of hockey fans in and around the DC area.

Though the team had a rough time during the last full season of play, winning only a handful of games, their fans have remained steadfast and loyal.

Visitors who enjoy hockey will want to considering purchasing tickets for a Caps home game, held at the MCI Arena, also home to the Wizards and Mystics basketball franchises.

Because the arena is conveniently located just a short distance from the downtown historic area, it's easy for families to schedule a visit to a Washington Capital's game when theyfind themselves with a spare evening in Washington, DC.
