To the Fans.

To the Fans of the Capitals,

First of all, I would like to thank you for all your support. You are the ones who make our organization go. I have played hockey for 25 years and last night may have been the worst loss I have ever been apart of. As you may have heard, I gave every player their two week notice, meaning in two weeks, they are out of their contracts if we do not renew it. I told everyone that if they do not want to be apart of the solution, I will find someone who will.

When I took this job, I knew that there would be lean moments, tough times. Did I ever imagine that it would be as low as last night? No. However, this is a challenge. This is my challenge. I took this job knowing there was a lot of work to be done. As last night indicated, there still is a lot of work to be done. I do not shy away from this. I have found often in my career and life that is moments like this that show the kind of person you are. We are going to right this ship.

I assure you the fans, we will improve this team. We are not going to back down from this adversity.

Once again, thank you for your support. Just by reading this, it shows that you care. I promise you, the person writing this blog cares just as much as you do and will do whatever it takes to improve your team.

Comments:
Fair play to you mate - it's not often you come across people with the balls to sack a whole team, I hope it works out well for you.

The league would be so much better if Basingstoke, Belfast, Hull and Manchester adopted a similar approach.
 
Thanks for keeping us all "in the loop". We hope things improve...at the least team morale so that they have fun playing. We enjoy watching and hope to see many more Capitals games.
