The Washington Capitals are a professional ice hockey team based in Washington, D.C. They compete in the Metropolitan Division of the Eastern Conference of the NHL. The Capitals were founded in 1974 as an expansion team and played their first NHL season the following year.

The team has won two conference championships (1998, 2018) and captured their first Stanley Cup in 2018. In 1997, the Capitals moved to their current home, Capital One Arena, which they share with the NBA’s Washington Wizards.

The Capitals have also won two Presidents’ Trophies for finishing the regular season with the most points and have made the Stanley Cup playoffs 11 times since their founding.

Following their first Stanley Cup victory, owner Ted Leonsis launched a “Namesake Campaign” to rename every level of Capital One Arena in honor of significant moments, players, or figures in team history. The goal is to create a more intimate and inspirational experience for fans.
