We first met Jackson Friedlander in the viral “Mite of the Nite” interview back in October. On Saturday, he was the Caps Kids mini broadcaster of the day.
Tonight is Kids Night as the Washington Capitals take on the New Jersey Devils at Capital One Arena. In honor of Kids Night, Jackson became the mini broadcaster during Saturday’s morning skate. Capitals play-by-play announcer Joe Beninati gave the young reporter some tips along the way.
