August 21, 2008
Former Washington Little Capital, Stephen Werner has a pretty good chance of suiting up in a black and gold sweater for the Washington Capitals this season. After being drafted in 2003 as a freshman at UMass, the past five years have been nothing but hard work for Werner.
Werner began his career as Washington Little Capital in youth hockey and continued on to play for the Junior Capitals. He then went onto National USA Hockey festivals and then made the U.S. under 17 team. From their he took nothing less than the high road. He went to play college hockey at UMass where he was then drafted by the Washington Capitals. Werner was the first D.C. native to ever be drafted in the NHL.
