Gobblin’ Up Goals: Leni Oshie, Caps Dads Hit the Ice During Capitals’ Thanksgiving Practice

The Washington Capitals held a brief practice on Thanksgiving Day, but all eyes were on the little ones. T.J. Oshie’s daughter Leni, along with Dylan Strome’s daughter and Nick Jensen’s sons, attended practice, and oh my goodness, the photos will leave you going “Awwww!”

NoVa Caps’ photojournalist Joe Noyes was on hand capturing the adorable action from Medstar Capitals Iceplex. You can follow his excellent work on his Instagram page or visit his website.

Leni, sporting the Capitals’ 2023 Stadium Series jersey, suited up with her dad and took the ice.

Strome’s daughter also took a twirl with her dad on the ice.

The mini Jensen boys hyping up Dad:

Game face on.

I had to save my favorite for last. Play Country Roads!
