HAPPY 34th BIRTHDAY JOSE THEODORE!!

(Born in Laval, QC, Canada)

Jose Theodore is no longer with the Washington Capitals, however, still sort of think of him that way since the season hasn't started yet.  Happy Birthday Jose and thanks for playing your heart out for two great years with the Caps. 

Jose did so much for the community of Washington as well as create a foundation after the death of his infant son. Jose received the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy at the NHL Awards in Vegas in June which is given to the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.

Jose was awarded a Random Act of Red by the Washington Nationals, 4/7/2010

Washington and Caps fans love Jose Theodore. The audience at this event, was the largest of any event that I have ever attended at ESPN Zone. It was standing room only and rumor has it that there a line formed for tables at 5pm.

Many of the fans were young fans who had great questions for Jose ranging from everything from superstitions to ice conditions in other arenas to wondering if the heckling of goalies bothers him.

I was able to take a few photos so enjoy the slideshow.
