TITANS WIN $10,000 GRANT FROM WASHINGTON CAPITALS & MSE FOUNDATION
The Washington Capitals and Monumental Sports & Entertainment Foundation announced Titans Youth Hockey is a 2022-23 beneficiary of the organization’s Capital Impact Fund - Titans Youth Hockey is among five Washington, D.C., area nonprofits that will receive $10,000 each. The organizations were selected by the Capitals based on their missions and impact toward diversity in hockey, as well as on their plans to use the funding to further advance Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the sport.
Titans will use the grant to help recruit more minority players, provide financial aid for players in need, and purchase more ice time that will support programming to develop player skills.
TITANS APPROACH TO GOALTENDING
The position of goaltender comes with a special team responsibility that requires preparation and practice. Late January 2023, Titans goalies gathered at Ft. Dupont Ice Arena for our Goalie Camp - our coaches helped our goalies practice skills from stance to on-ice recovery. Titans is following the lead of USA Hockey in building goaltending skills with more attention to coach training and goalie practices. More details at: https://www.usahockeygoaltending.com
