The Washington Capitals have identified a wonderful ambassador for the NHL's "Hockey is for Everyone" campaign. And they took the opportunity to surprise her with the trip of a lifetime.
After impressing Capitals alumni Petr Bondra with her hockey skills last month, Fatima Al Ali, a member of the United Arab Emirates national team, was invited to Washington to showcase her talent to the entire team.
Fatima will fly in from Abu Dhabi as part of the February initiative.
