Washington Capitals History

The Capitals were founded in 1974, but did not post a winning record or reach the Playoffs until the 1982-1983 season, when a group led by top scorers Dennis Maruk and Mike Gartner, along with defenseman Rod Langway, ended the frustration. It began a remarkable streak of 14 consecutive seasons in the Playoffs.

After that streak ended in 1996-1997, the Capitals bounced back the next year to win their first conference title. Led by right wing Peter Bondra and goalie Olaf Kölzig, they defeated Boston, Ottawa and Buffalo in the Playoffs to earn their first berth in the Stanley Cup Final. But the Caps were swept in four games.

Alexander Ovechkin arrived in 2005, and since 2007-2008, the Capitals have reached the Playoffs almost every year. The 2014-2015 season began a run of three consecutive years that the Capitals reached the second round, only to lose in heartbreaking fashion. In 2015-2016, they won a franchise-high and NHL-best 56 games only to be felled by Pittsburgh, all the losses coming by one goal. They won a league-best 55 games the next year, but again lost to the Penguins in the second round.

The Capitals would go on to win their first Stanley Cup Championship in franchise history in 2018 when they beat the Vegas Golden Knights. In 2025, Ovechkin surpassed Wayne Gretzky’s record for the most career goals scored with 897. Along with Gartner and Langway, Yvon Labre and Dale Hunter have had their numbers retired.

  • Blue Jackets at Capitals Hockey

    by OSU Pablo on 11/21/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Venue was great and it was a stand up to Cancer Game. Section 409 seats offered a nice view for a decent price. Close contest and even though my team lost it was enjoyable.

  • Boring!

    by Caps Game on 11/21/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 3 out of 5

    Just OK! Not enough Fan interaction like some other arenas I've been too. Who cares about trying to find a cow in the crowd! More fan screen shots of the "Cheap Seats"and the fans in general. People love to see themselves on the Jumbotron, kids, people with signs, dancing. I've never been to a game where you could count the people standing up! Everyone was in their seats most of them not even paying attention to the game! I saw more people looking at their phones than the hockey game and my team wasn't even playing. The Arena itself is not that great either. We were in loge seating and a bar area might have been nice, and not just food stands, although the food was great and you pay $18 for a beer at any arena. Just a so-so experience.

    I was trying to obtain Capitals tickets and getting the tickets were very easy and efficient.

  • CAPS great, seats NOT!

    by Aunt9 on 11/17/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 3 out of 5

    I took my nephew to see the CAPS at the Capital One Arena Tuesday, 11/14/23. The CAPS shut out the Knights and the game was great, however, the seats not so much… I spent $370 for 2 tickets in section 120, row D as a birthday present. These seats were nothing more than folding chairs stuffed/crammed into a too tight space. To make matters worse, one of the seats were actually broken. I had to sit forward in my seat the entire time to allow the person next to fit into their seat, it was very uncomfortable. The seats were too close to even allow for drink holders so we either had to sit our drinks on the floor of hold them the entire time. Every time we all stood, I had wait for the person to my left to sit before I could get back into my chair. It was worse than airplane seats and they’re pretty bad! I have no complaints with the rest of my experience or with the cleanliness or service at the arena but these seats were ridiculous. Lesson learned, I will not be spending the money for “good seats” in this section again!

  • Go Caps!!!

    by Anthony on 11/12/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Awesome game (despite losing) and experience! Friendly staff, fab stadium and ultimately a wonderful show!! Beer is expensive however!

  • Good game!

    by Jeff on 4/15/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    It was a great experience, easy to get in, good selection of drinks and good seats. Caps won! And the staff working at the arena were awesome!

  • Great Experience!

    by MT on 4/14/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    Hadn’t been to a Caps game in a while. It was great fun (we were close to the ice—only 9 seats up). Everyone who was assisting caps fans enter, find seats or answer questions was helpful and friendly! Seats were clean though floor was really sticky. Food and sales items were really expensive unfortunately. Only real downside. Be back again in the fall.

  • Awesome

    Every aspect of the event was perfect. The staff was very helpful and friendly. Great time.

  • Best Sports Ticket In DC

    by Patrick on 3/24/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    The Caps games are the most exciting and fan involved games in the DMV. If not just to watch Ovechkin, it’s a safe, fun and fan forward experience. You don’t have to know anything about hockey to instantly be hooked. I have literally never seen or heard a person not love it.

  • First ice hockey expirience

    by Patrick on 3/24/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    this was our first experience with ice hockey. love to do it again when visiting the US

  • Squeeze in and don't move...

    by Tim on 3/24/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 2 out of 5

    Everything was great except the physical seating. I've never been in such a tight seat in any venue. Upgrade the seats to allow the average person to fit. Replace the chair arms with something a tad wider.

  • Not impressed

    by Bstoff on 3/20/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 1 out of 5

    I expected the arena to be bigger, but was turned off by how dirty everything was. The floors and the seat backs were extremely sticky and the bathrooms were horrible!

  • Great seats. All was a super great experience!

    by John on 3/19/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    It all started with ticket sales. I must say Luke Jackson has to be the best. He is very attentive and pass attention. I highly recommend him for any ticket needs. I did choose great seats along with help from the virtual ticket finder and Luke's assistance. Everyone I encountered at the arena were very professional and willing to help. Only downside is price of food, sodas and water. Great job to all I am looking forward to my next games.

  • Caps vs ducks

    by Tom on 2/26/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    Good game unfortunately caps lost. One down side was that a Rita’s ice cream employee by 113 was busy watching his cell phone movie than paying attention to his customers!!

  • Awesome

    by David on 2/17/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 5 out of 5

    From the pregame warmup to the end we had the best time.

  • Fun but overpriced

    by bostongrrl on 2/15/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    We had great seats on the first level, although they were quite expensive. But the upper deck was expensive too. The Caps didn't win the game, but you can't count that against them. The food choices were all fried, carb junk and then A LOT of alcoholic options. We stood in line for 10 minutes to get hot chocolate, but then were told they didn't have any, even though it was on the menu?! We showed up with our small, clear stadium bag to put our winter coats and garb in, but the guy outside of the doors said we couldn't bring it in, he made us throw it out. Considering the teen sitting next to us at our seats had a legit full size black backpack, and the clothing store inside gave out bags bigger than what we had with a purchase, the fact that we had to throw out our empty clear bag was absolutely ridiculous. Overall, it was a decent time. The place was clean. The atmosphere was kid friendly. But I wouldn't go again for a long time. Way too expensive for the experience.

  • Rushed and expensive

    by Ty on 2/15/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 3 out of 5

    Parking was only for a short period of time. Overall cost was expensive.

  • Wash Caps Arena

    by WVCapsFan on 2/15/23Capital One Arena - WashingtonRating: 4 out of 5

    Overall a great experience. Not a bad seat in the house - even in the nosebleed sections. An announcer to play music and get the fans pumped up would have been nice - fans are too quiet most of the game.
