Washington Capitals coach to address Club luncheon July 8

The coach of the Washington Capitals, Barry Trotz, will discuss the performance of the local hockey team after his first year at the helm and will look ahead to next season at a National Press Club luncheon Wednesday, July 8.

Trotz completed his first season with the Capitals with a playoff run after leading the Nashville Predators for 15 seasons. He ranks third all-time in both games coached and wins with a single franchise. No stranger to the region, Trotz spent five seasons as coach of the Capitals’ minor league team in the American Hockey League. He became coach of the Baltimore Skipjacks in 1992 after one season as an assistant coach.

Lunch will be served at 12:30 p.m., with remarks beginning at 1 p.m., followed by a question-and-answer session ending at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $23 for Press Club members (NPC members may purchase 2 tickets at this rate) and $37 for all other non-member tickets.
