CAPS: Happy Birthday, Jay Beagle

HAPPY 27th BIRTHDAY JAY BEAGLE!

The Washington Capitals forward was born on 10/16/1985 in Calgary, AB, Canada.

“Beags” was very involved in the DC community last season. Beagle hosted Caps hockey schools at Saint Ambrose Catholic School with Mathieu Perreault in January and at North Springfield Elementary School with Tomas Vokoun in March, helped make dreams come true for kids with Jason Chimera and John Erskine in February and, of course, was part of Casino Night in February. Jay’s wife, Ashley Beagle, made spring crafts with kids at Childrens’ National Medical Center.

Thanks Beags for everything that you do on and off the ice!

Happy 27th Birthday to #83.
