National Hockey League (NHL) commissioner Gary Bettman said the Washington Capitals will not move to Virginia. His words are quoted official website of the organization.
“Nobody’s moving. We like the location of our clubs. “I know there’s talk in the media that Washington is probably moving to Virginia, which is four miles away from the current arena,” Bettman said.
The Capitals currently play downtown at Capital One Arena. It was previously reported that state lawmakers approved a project to build an arena for the National Basketball Association’s (NBA) Washington Capitals and Washington Wizards teams. The stadium will be located in the Potomac Yard area of Alexandria, a suburb of Washington, D.C., and is located 15 kilometers from Capital One.
Playing 25 matches in the regular season, Washington ranks 11th in the Eastern Conference rankings with 31 points. Boston leads the league with 40 points. The Capitals will face Philadelphia on December 15.
