Mike’s STH Xperience – Gooning it Up

Written by

Welcome to Mike’s Season Ticket Holder (STH) Xperience!

This season is my first one as a Season Ticket holder for the Washington Capitals, and in place of doing Caps Game Recaps, I’ll be sharing my experience being a STH during the 2024-25 season. Here I’ll be sharing all of the photos that I take during pregame warmups, along with any FB/IG Reels and TikToks I create at the games.

I will also be doing this for any other games I may go to, whether it’s in Hershey for the Bears, or at other NHL venues for games.

Drafted in the 4th Round of the 1991 NHL Draft by the Detroit Red Wings, forward Mike Knuble won the Stanley Cup with Detroit in 1998. Knuble was traded to the New York Rangers in October of 1998, and played with Wayne Gretzky in what was his final NHL season. Knuble scored two goals that were assisted by Gretzky that season.

After 4 seasons with the Philadelphia Flyers, Knuble signed with the Washington Capitals in July of 2009. Knuble spent 3 seasons with the Capitals playing in 220 games recording 59 goals and 52 assists for 111 points. Knuble assisted on 14 goals scored by Alex Ovechkin during his time with the Capitals.

Knuble is the only player in NHL history to be teammates with both Wayne Gretzky and Alex Ovechkin.

Thoughts on the Game

This was a fun one from start to finish. Instead of taking my normal spot by the Capitals bench, I was in the penalty box to take in pregame warmups. Wasn’t able to take the normal pictures that I’d normally take, but still a fun experience.

Then, I got to sit in section 218, which is right under my normal section of 420, so the view was the same, but just lower. I got to spend the game with my dad, my friend Sasha (who is also one of my editors for the So Close docu-series), and my buddy Greenie (who I play hockey with). It was really great, especially getting to see Alex Ovechkin score a goal with my dad, as we hadn’t been to a game together in a long time.

Overall, a great game, and a great experience.
