Breaking down the 2023 Capitals Training Camp roster

It’s the most wonderful time of the year. The time when the Washington Capitals release their training camp roster. Today the rink is closed to the public as players do their physicals and photoshoots. Tomorrow camp begins.

Before we dive into what the roster looks like, I included the training camp schedule for the next couple days if you plan on coming out to MedStar Capitals Iceplex. I may be there Saturday for the Group A session so if you see me don’t be shy to say hi. Practices are free and open to the public.
