Leafs vs Wild at the new "Capitals Ice Center" in Arlington, Va. The game is Saturday at 5:45 PM.

This won't count in the standings, but should be fun.

Wacky, but very cool. Might have to check that out. Is this mentioned somewhere online? Interested in reading more about how something like this came about.

psst...Leafs are in MTL on Saturday.

This some joke?? Two NHL teams are not gonna go to a practice facility of a team not near them, much less ever play a game for no standings points outside of preseason.

When I first saw this thread title, I assumed this was two teams in a local high school or other local league.

yeah, ditto. I'd have a hard time believing 2 nhl teams would agree to play an extra game in the middle of the season.

That's what I thought it must be.

Why you made it look like it was the big clubs I dunno, but good luck to your kid.

I'd enjoy it if any of you could make it...and it would be a good time to see the place if you haven't seen it yet.

And...it'll be a good game. If you haven't seen a CBHL (Capital Beltway Hockey League) game before, you'll be in for a real treat. We played the Wild for the first time about a week ago, and edged out a victory...so they'll be looking for payback. My kid had a sweet seeing-eye goal last game when we played them. It was from the side of the goal in the area Locker & Joe B were discussing last night...an area that seems to be producing more goals these days in both the NHL as well as the CBHL.


I could even be talked into bringing a 12 pack and we could slip out to the parking lot and have a quick one between periods.

I'd make a showing if the game was in scranton... maybe over my ridiculously long winer break I'll hit up the Kett!
