Owen Nei featured on NBC Nightly News!

The Capitals have gone national! Owen Nei's last game at the "Chuck" was featured on NBC Nightly News on Saturday, March 19th.

NBC anchor Jose Diaz-Balart interviewed Chris and Owen Nei, manager Scott McMahon, and teammates for the segment.

Reflecting on how Owen's inspiring story has gone national, McMahon reflected, "what started as a 'hey let's get a bunch of people at Owen's last game,' has turned into something that none of us could imagine!"

Peewee C Blue Wins District Championship!!!

The Capitals Peewee C Blue team won its district championship in a 3-2 overtime victory against White Bear Lake Orange.

The team's road to the championship was not easy.  After rolling over Hudson, the team had to come back from a 3 goal deficit in the final period to prevail over a tough City of Lakes squad in its next game.  That victory was followed by a tight game against the East Metro Stars, before the team met up with White Bear Lake Orange, a team it had not beaten all season.

Led by Captain Owen Nei, playing in his final game as a St. Paul Capital, the Capitals took an early lead in the first period.  The teams traded goals in the second period to put the Caps up by one going into the final frame.  But White Bear Lake battled back and tied the game towards the end of the third period, sending the game into overtime.  A minute into sudden death, Defenseman Felix Show shot the puck from the top of the left circle through the goalie's legs to win the game and the District 2 Championship! 

Coach Chris Nei reflected after the game, "The kids played great tonight.  This is a special group of kids.  They didn't lose a game against another C team all season."

Congratulations to the Peewee C Blues on its Peewee C District Championship!!!

Bantam B1 and AA teams Regions Bound!

Congratulations to the Caps Bantam B1 and Bantam AA teams on qualifying for regions today!  Our Bantam B1 team beat Mahtomedi by a score of 5-1 to get second place in the Bantam B1 District tournament.  Mahtomedi beat our Bantam B1 team in the early rounds pushing the Caps to the loser's bracket, but after prevailing against Forest Lake, the Bantam B1 came back to avenge its earlier loss to Mahtomedi and qualify for Regions!  Congrats to Coach Dave Rust and his entire team!

Likewise, our Bantam AA team was pushed to the loser's bracket after its first round loss to Stillwater, but it prevailed against Mahtomedi to win the loser's bracket for a face-off against White Bear Lake in the second place game.  Today, the Bantam AA team prevailed to take second place in the District tournament and move on to regions. Congrats to Coach Dane Erickson and his entire team.

Come back later for an update about the rest of our Caps teams in regions.  Go Caps!
