Washington Capitals CANCEL their 4th Annual Caps Convention

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?


Ugh.


The Caps have cancelled the upcoming 4th annual Caps Convention due to the CBA uncertainty.  


The Capitals released this statement yesterday afternoon that reads:


The Capitals Convention has been a tremendous success in its first three years, attracting sold-out crowds of more than 6,500 fans to the day-long interactive celebration of the Washington Capitals. This annually features the entire Capitals roster and prominent alumni from around the world. In the past the Caps Convention has been held in late September or early October. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the collective bargaining agreement the Capitals have decided not to hold a convention in 2012, but the event will return in the fall of 2013.


I personally was unable to go to it this year, BUT many of my friends who do and including myself are VERY disappointed at not having this opportunity.  More even so that the NHL and NHLPA are back where they were before with the CBA junk.  

my final thought on this....The NHL will NOT survive another lockout!!!
