Former Capitals Braden Holtby, Steven Oleksy Join Star-Studded Lineup For Alzner Foundation's 'Swing Into Summer' Game

The Capitals will be well represented at Alzner's annual slow-pitch softball game.

Get ready, Capitals fans—two beloved former players are stepping up to the plate for a great cause! Braden Holtby and Steve Oleksy have joined the star-studded lineup for Karl Alzner's annual "Swing Into Summer" charity softball game, set for May 30 at Capital One Park in McLean, Virginia.

This slow-pitch showdown brings together a who's who of D.C., Maryland, and Virginia sports legends. Holtby, the Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender who backstopped the Caps to their 2018 Stanley Cup championship, and Oleksy, the gritty defenseman who became a fan favorite for his blue-collar play, will reunite with their former teammate Alzner for a day of fun and fundraising.

They'll be joined by an impressive roster that crosses multiple sports: former Washington Commanders stars Vernon Davis and Ryan Kerrigan, Nationals icon Ryan Zimmerman, D.C. United defender Steven Birnbaum, and former professional women's hockey star Haley Skarupa. Tennis coach Denis Kudla, PLL lacrosse pro Kyle Harrison, and University of Wisconsin standout Lacey Eden round out the all-star cast.

Last year's game featured current Caps Dylan Strome and Connor McMichael alongside fan favorite T.J. Oshie and Holtby—so expect more big names to be announced as game day approaches. The event supports the Alzner Foundation, which works to level the playing field for youth sports organizations across the DMV by providing funding, resources, and visibility.

Beyond the action on the diamond, fans can enjoy a silent auction and raffle. Tickets are on sale now—don't miss your chance to see these legends trade their sticks for bats in a summer celebration of community and sport.
