    TXHT Jersey Share – Caps Clinic

    Today on the TXHT Jersey Share series we take a look back at this really cool jersey that was worn for the 2012 Capitals Clinic which was won at a Caps Care Auction by my friends Mark Whiting and John Stortz.

    So first off I want to start by expressing my gratitude to both Mark and John for allowing me to be a part of this, and all of the great memories that have come from it. Being able to be on the ice with defenseman Dennis Wideman, forwards Mathieu Perreault and Marcus Johansson, goaltender Michal Neuvirth, and assistant coach Jim Johnson and learning from them, and being able to work on my game was just an amazing moment.

    Top two moments overall were getting tripped by Perreault in board battle drills, and then working on net front battles as both a defenseman and forward with Johansson. Being able to work with Neuvirth, Johnson, and Wideman was really cool too, but I took the most from Johansson and Perreault as those are two big parts to my game as a player.

    TXHT Jersey Share – Team Neuvy

    In today’s edition of TXHT Jersey Share we have a jersey that is of a player that is a favorite of mine, despite the unfortunate series of events that have been bestowed upon him.

    That’s right, former Washington Capitals goaltender Michal Neuvirth.

    Now I know Neuvirth eventually lost out on the battle for net here in Washington and was traded to Buffalo, but I always felt that Neuvirth was a solid goaltender who when healthy is a number one goaltender. However, the story of Michal Neuvirth’s career is another story for another day. I got this jersey shortly after he was traded to Buffalo, and I’m happy to have it. I rarely buy jerseys that are of the actual players, but this one was an important to me due to my interactions with Neuvirth. He was always kind and respctful to me, and that is something that I will always remember.
