SLAPSHOT

“The Nation Capital's Coolest Eagle”

Slapshot was the model and original star for the Great Seal of the United States.

In 1995 the Washington Capitals were looking for an energetic and fun loving eagle. Slapshot decided to pick up a stick and headed for the Verizon Center.

On November 17, 1995, landing gracefully somewhere between the penalty box and the blue line, Slapshot took the ice for the first time.
